RubyPLB

RubyPLB generates pattern lattice graphics from lists of patterns.

Features

• Accept a text file with any number of patterns and generate a Graphviz DOT file, or a PNG/JPG/EPS image file.
• Calculate z-scores of pattern nodes and create lattice graphs with temperature colorng applied.

Installation

Install the gem:

$gem install rubyplb

How to Use

Usage:
       rubyplb [options] <source file> <output file>

where:
<source file>
       ".plb", ".txt"
<output file>
       ."dot", ".png", ".jpg", or ".eps"
[options]:
    --simple, -s:   Use simple labels for pattern nodes
      --full, -f:   Generate a full pattern lattice without contracting nodes
  --vertical, -v:   Draw the graph from top to bottom instead of left to right)
  --coloring, -c:   Color pattern nodes
  --straight, -t:   Straighten edges (available when output format is either png, jpg, or eps)
      --help, -h:   Show this message

Example

Source file (sample.plb)

A B C A [navy] (42)
C D E [#FF9900] (23)
A D E (8)

Each line represents a pattern, or an instance of a pattern to be more precise. A color code can be specified in square brackets and pattern weight can be specified by an integer in parentheses after the pattern representation.
