Using svg as presentation program


Hi. Today i want to show a way to make a presentation without any program. You need a program, actually. A program to make svg images, that are vector based images. Thess are good for two reasons:
- they are good to make schemes and simple drawings that are scalable;
- they are occupy few space.

 There is a nice free tool to make svg files. It is called Inkscape (there is also a portable version). Choose a size of the slides and then create your presentation saving the different slides in form of svg files. For example, let's call them slide1.svg, slide2.svg  and so on.
After this we create an html file like the one you see in the pics below (that are svg files of course). So the follow example explains what I mean.
If we make many slides, it could be a little bit annoying to write all the lines of html to show the pics, so, in the next post, I will show you some code in python to create automatically the html file, so that you don't have to bother with anything except making the slides in svg.

Tkinter tutorial 1

Ok, this time we are going to talk about the tkinter module, a module to make GUIs (graphic user interface) for Python. Until now we have just used the console or the jupyter nootebook (and its widgets) to show the output. Now we are going to use the usual windows for linux, windows or MacOs. 1. IMPORT THE MODULE To use the tkinter modules (on python 3) you have to import them, for example, like this: from tkinter import * In this way you don't have to write tkinter. and then the classes you are going to use, but just the name of the classes. It is "faster", but it can sometime coflict with other names of other modules you can import. For now, we will use this way to import tkinter, anyway. 2. CREATE A WINDOW root = Tk () root . geometry ( "400x300+500+300" ) root . mainloop () About the geometry method of root (istance of Tk()): We passed a string argument to the method: 400x300 is the size of the window 500+300 are the position o...
