This project creates an image of various points, with each pixel colored according to that pixel's distance to the nearest couple of points and their respective colors. The user can specify the number of total points as well as the number of nearst points (or nearest neighbours) to be taken into account when creating the color of the pixel.

This program will not function without the Zelle graphics package, which itself requires tKinter.

For Windows:

  git clone https://github.com/Haquilus/kNN_Visualizer.git kNN_Visualizer
  cd kNN_Visualizer
  pip install graphics.py 
  pip install tk

For Ubuntu and Mac:

  git clone https://github.com/Haquilus/kNN_Visualizer.git kNN_Visualizer
  cd kNN_Visualizer
  pip install graphics.py
  sudo apt-get install python-tk

For Arch:

  git clone https://github.com/Haquilus/kNN_Visualizer.git kNN_Visualizer
  cd kNN_Visualizer
  pip install graphics.py
  sudo pacman -S tk

For all operasting systems:

  python main.py

Make sure you are inside the project dirctory, i.e. the kNN_Visualizer folder.

I apologise in advance for the render time. I tried forcing it to run on the gpu, but the graphics.py module does not work well with jit. Creating my own graphics environment is, at the time of making, both out of scope for the project and my skill level in python. I invite you to try and make the program run a little faster yourself.

How to import your own points:

Install the prerequisites to run the code. In objects.py, you can create a new array of points and their colors, then import it to main and set it equal to pointsArray. Finally, run the program.

The exe file is currently out of date and should not be used.

Thanks for checking out my program!
