Denzven-Graphing-Api

Welcome! this is Denzven-Graphing-Api

1. About the Api:

Denzven-Graphing-Api is my first flask project that plots graphs of formulas/Equations using python. i have also made and Api-Wrapper (mostly for practice) to make life easy and to use this Api. Also an Example Bot

---

2. How to Use the API?

Using the API is as simple as sending a request to the website with some params such as the formula, grid, plot_style, x_coord, y_coord (more configurable parameters is coming…) and the API will return an image of the plotted Graph.

Example of a requested URL:

http://denzven.pythonanywhere.com/DenzGraphingApi/v1/flat_graph/test/plot?formula=x%2By&x%2By&grid=1&plot_style=3&x_coord=20&y_coord=20

Note:

• Base url:
  • http://denzven.pythonanywhere.com/DenzGraphingApi/v1/flat_graph/test/plot
• The Formula:
  • ?formula=x%2By&x%2By

    Note that this url is “urlencoded” using urllib.

  • What can the formula contain?
    • trignometric functions:

      sin() cos() tan()

    • powers

      x**2 = x²

    • Basic BODMAS

      ()=Brackets,
      /=Divide,
      *=Mutiply,
      +=Add,
      -=Subtract

    • Misc:

      pi=value of the const pi,
      sqrt()=square root of the value,
      %=modulos gives the remaider of the divsion

      • eg: 13%3 returns 1 15%5 returns 0
• The Parameters:
  • &grid=1

    Grid refers to the presence of smaller grid lines, represent as boolean value with 1 is true, 0 is false

  • &plot_style=3

    These are a list of the default plot_styles it can range from 0-25

  • &x_coord=20

    The value of the x coordinate (horizontal)

  • &y_coord=20

    The value of the y coordinate (vertical)

3. Limitations of the API

The API has several limitations in its use now, and is slowly getting patched/fixed.

Some known ones:

• Limitations in the formula usage: the formula must equate to zero. Like “x+y” as input will mean the graph of “x+y=0” and it must contain both x and y in the equation.
• Limitations in usable functions: No Absolute function, Min, Max (yet!)
• Currently, the API uses Python’s eval() function to evaluate the equations, this will be replaced in the future for the sake of performance and stability

4. Contributing to the API (if you want to add changes/neaten up the code)

• Fork the repository
• Clone your fork: git clone https://github.com/denzven/Denzven-Graphing-Api.git
• Create your feature branch: git checkout -b my-new-feature
• Commit your changes: git commit -am 'Add some feature'
• Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
• Submit a pull request

5. Known Bugs and Issue reporting

• There was a bug by putting exit() or quit() in the formula that would turn off the api.. i have tried my best to patch it

I dont know of any other feel free to add them in!

6. About Me

I am a 17 years old wierdo that hops on with tons of hobbies and gets bored easily. Tried out a bunch of stuff like blender3D, voxel art, making discord bots and telegram bots, basic python programs, right now i am making an Graphing API and its wrapper. you can find more info about me here

Thank you! Hope You can tribute much needed support and enjoy using the api as much i did making it 😁
