Package Overview¶
This package overview serves as a source of necessary and helpful information for developing gilp. First, we will discuss the structure of the gilp package at a high level.
Package Structure¶
The gilp package contains 4 modules: simplex, style,
visualize, and examples. The simplex module contains the
LP class definition as well as an implementation of the revised simplex
method. Additionally, it contains some custom exception classes that can be
thrown by the LP methods and simplex functions. The style module
mainly serves as a higher level interface with the Plotly Graphing Library. Furthermore, it contains some additional
functions for styling text and numbers. The height, width, and background color
of the generated visualizations are set with constants in this module. The
visualize drives most of the gilp package. This module utilizes the
simplex and style modules to generate interactive
visualizations. Additionally, it contains a custom exception class and
constants which specify properties of the visualization. Lastly, the
examples module contains 8 example LPs in the form of 8 constants. Now,
we will go into each module in more detail.
