EquationTracer uses NumPy and Pygame to convert an arbitrary scribble into a parametric equation which you can plot on Graphing Calculators such as Desmos!
This is a guide on how to install EquationTracer.
Note: You need Python installed on your system, along with either pip or pipx.
If you do not want to use pip or pipx, you can also alternatively clone this git repository, or simply copy the code!
Linux: pip install equationtracer
Mac: pip3 install equationtracer
Windows (pipx): pipx install equationtracer
Windows (pip): pip install equationtracer
Note: For Windows, it is recommended to use pipx as using pip does not allow the poetry script
trace-equationto run, but pipx does support this. If pip is used, you need to run the program with the other command, as provided below. On Max and Linux, pip3 will automatically allow the poetry scripttrace-equationto be able to be executed.
To run the program, type into a command line: trace-equation
If you installed the program with pip (instead of pipx) on windows, or if the above command doesn't work, you can also do:
Windows: py -m equationtracer
Others: python3 -m equationtracer
To update the program, use the following:
Linux: pip install -U equationtracer
Mac: pip3 install -U equationtracer
Windows (pipx): pipx upgrade equationtracer
Windows (pip): pip install -U equationtracer
EquationTracer uses the libraries numpy, pygame and pyperclip, and runs on Python 3.9 and above.
