The databet

The databet contains 27 datasets: 26 of these resemble the letters of the alphabet, the 27th is a star:

For each of the datasets (to 2 decimal places):

• The mean of the x-values is 0.50
• The mean of the y-values is 0.52
• The standard deviation of the x-values is 0.17
• The standard deviation of the y-values is 0.18
• The correlation coefficient is 0.16

The dataset for each letter of the alphabet can be found in JSON format in the letters folder.

You can read more about these datasets at mscroggs.co.uk/blog/101.

Using the databet package

Once you've installed the databet Python package, you can load a letter or create a plot of a letter using the load_letter and plot_letter functions:

import databet

a = databet.load_letter("A")

databet.plot_letter("B", "b.png")

You can also plot words using the plot_word function:

import databet

databet.plot_word("DATABET", "databet.png")
