I just started to play around with parsing data from internet sources to the matrix.
Starting with this page (German parliament seat distribution):
https://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/bundestagswahlen/2017/ergebnisse/bund-99.html
and extracting data and colors from the SVG image using this code:
doc = minidom.parse('diagramm.svg') # parseString also exists
style_string = [path.getAttribute('style') for path in doc.getElementsByTagName('path')]
label_string = [path.getAttribute('aria-labelledby') for path in doc.getElementsByTagName('path')]
text_string = [text.getAttribute('id') for text in doc.getElementsByTagName('text')]
data_string = [text for text in doc.getElementsByTagName('text')]
rgb=[]
percentage=[]
index=0
for i in range(0,7):
rgb.append(style_string[i].split("(")[1].split(")")[0].split(","))
for i in range(0,text_string.__len__()):
if text_string[i]==label_string[index]:
percentage.append(int(round(200*int(data_string[i]._get_childNodes()[0]._get_data().split(": ")[1])/709)))
if index < label_string.__len__()-1:
index=index+1
doc.unlink()
pix=0
So after sending this data to the matrix, I got this:
Nice starting point...
