Jupyter to write nice equations




I have already mentioned jupyter notebook as a great way to program in python (this is what I use for making the code on this blog, and making this I re-discovered jupyter, as I was using sublime text 3 as editor, finding it very very useful and handy).

Now, you can use jupyter not only for your code, but also for markdown... but I want to talk of this in particular... ho to write equations with markdown (it came to my mind doing the last post about equations)...

So I want to let you see a little example that may want you to use it to display equations.


This is what you write in the cell of jupyter in markdown mode:

\begin{equation*}
1 + \frac{q^2}{1-q}+\frac{q^6}{(1-q^2)}
\end{equation*}

After this hit ctrl + enter and you'll get this pretty noce formula:




You have to deal with all those curly brakets and tag but I think it's a pretty nice way to show equations in jupyter. In case you want to know more go to http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/Notebook/Typesetting%20Equations.html

Image in Jupyter and PIL step by step

Hi, """ Hi, we will see a step by step tutorial about PIL and IPython.core.display modules to create images from other images and diplaying them in Jupyter notebook """ # What we will do # Create a card # 1. Take a pic of a heart # 2. Create an image blanck the size of a card 90*130 # 3. Paste the heart in the middle # 4. show the card """ As first step wi will simply display an image on the notebook. I will show two way to display the image with 'display' from IPhyton a. Using the open method of PIL.Image (named Img) b. Using the Image method from the IPython.core.display module """ # 1. Take the pic of a heart from IPython.core.display import Image , display from PIL import Image as Img heart = 'img/heart.png' display ( Image ( heart )) display ( Img . open ( heart )) # 2. Create an image blanck the size of a card 90*130 # 3. Paste the heart in the middle #...

Let's draw a circle with PIL in Python

Let's continue making our coding around PIL. Let's start with some basic drawing: a circle from PIL import Image , ImageDraw img = Image . new ( "RGB" ,( 60 , 60 ), 'white' ) dr = ImageDraw . Draw ( img ) dr . ellipse (( 0 , 0 , 60 , 60 ), 'yellow' ) img . show () this is the image produced *If you use jupyter notebook, just write img at the end to see the output.
