Stoichiograph - The Elemental Speller

Spell words with elemental symbols from the periodic table ("He", "Cu", etc). I made this when I was bored in Chemistry class. I wrote about the process of making it here.

Installation

$ pip install stoichiograph

Usage

usage: stoichiograph [-h] [-b BATCH_FILE] [-c] [--debug] [--list-elements]
                     [--export-graph] [-o OUTPUT_FILE] [-s] [-t] [-v] [-V]
                     [words [words ...]]

Spell words with elemental symbols from the periodic table.

positional arguments:
  words                 word(s) for which to find elemental spellings

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BATCH_FILE, --batch-file BATCH_FILE
                        text file containing one word per line
  -c, --clobber         overwrite output file if it exists
  --debug               print debug log
  --list-elements       print list of elemental symbols and exit
  --export-graph        export graph of first word as dot code
  -o OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file OUTPUT_FILE
                        path of output json file
  -s, --sort            sort words by length
  -t, --tuples          display spellings as tuples
  -v, --verbose         print a detailed log
  -V, --version         print version info and exit

Graph Export

Stoichiograph builds a graph to find a word's elemental spellings. Use the --export-graph option to output dot code that graphviz can use to generate an image of the graph.

$ stoichiograph --export-graph flashbacks | dot -Tpng -o word_graph.png
The file output by the above command
