Python: My Fake Data Generator P-2
Learning : Python: Functions, Procedures and documentation
Subject: About fake data P-2: (Fake ID)
Before we start i’d like to mention that with our last fcolor() function we write some comments in the first part of the function between three double quote(“””), and if we load the function and call help() as help(fcolor()) we will get that information on the python console as a help as in screen shot.
|
In this post we will write a function to generate a fake ID number, for ID’s there could be several styles, sometime we just want a random number without any meaning; just X number of random digits. Most of the time we need this number to be mean-full based on certain rules. For example, in Banks they may use some digits that indicate the branch. In sport club, they may include the date … and so-on.
Here we will write a function called key_generator(), the function will take two arguments (dig, s) dig is your key digits number, s is the style, if s = d then the first 6 digits of the key will be the date as ddmmyy + random digits, and if s = anything else or s not passed then the key will be as default (just x-digits). Let’s see the code.
First the summary or say information about the function:
def key_generator(dig, s = 'n'):
"""
### Date: 8/12/2019, By: Ali Radwani ###
Summary:
This function will generate x-digit key randomly.
If the argument s = 'd' or 'D' then the key is two part, first (6) digits
are date as ddmmyy then x-digit random numbers.
If the argument s anything else than ['d','D'] or no argument passes, then the key
is random numbers without any meaning.
The numbers will randomly be selected in range of (10 to 99).
import: random, datetime
Argument: int: dig: The number of digits for the key.
str: s : The key style (with date or just random numbers)
return: int: the_key
"""
Now, if the user pass s=’d’ then part of the key will be the current date, to do this we will call the datetime function in python and split it into dd,mm,yy. Here is the key_generator() function.
def key_generator(dig, s = 'n'):
"""

if s in ['d','D'] :
d = str(datetime.date.today())
dd = d[8:10]
mm = d[5:7]
yy = d[2:4]
the_key = dd + mm + yy
for x in range (dig):
the_key = the_key + str( random.randint(10,99))
return int(the_key[:(dig + 6)])
else :
for x in range (dig):
the_key = the_key + str( random.randint(10,99))
return int(the_key[:dig])

Python: My Fake Data Generator P-1
Learning : Python: Functions, Procedures and documentation
Subject: About fake data P-1
In the last post (Fake data-set) we play around with a library called “Faker” and we saw that we can call several functions to generate a fake data such as names, dresses, jobs and others. Once you use this you can figure out that a lot of data are random, some time they are random from a list or say a file. So as we are in learning sessions i thought it is a good idea if i start to write “My Fake Data Generator” functions, There is one thing that we (say I) have to consider; that’s the people behind “Faker library” are professionals and are a team not ONE person, there experience in writing codes and documenting thing are away better than whatever we will do, BUT the goal of this task is to coding, coding and coding.
So what are the functions that we will try to write? Here we will list down the functions that we will work on, this list will grownup as we working so it is not limited to that ever written now. Also i will try to do documentation for the functions so later if we call help() function in Python and pass a function name, we will get something from there. So let’s start and see the list of functions we will work on.
| Function Name | Description |
| color | To return a random color code in RGB or hex. |
| Date | To return a random date. |
| Mobile | To return a mobile number. |
| Country | To return a random country name. |
| City | To return a random City name. |
| ID | To return 11 random dig as ID. |
| Done |
So first one we will start with is “color”. Color function will return a value that present a color code, this number may be in decimal or hexadecimal, the function will take one argument (type) if type = d or D then the code will be in decimal, if type = h or H then the code will be in hexadecimal, if nothing passes then default will be hexadecimal.
First we need to import random
# Generate FAKE color code.
def fcolor (t='h'):
"""
This function named 'fcolor' will return a value that present a color code.
Function will take one argument str (t), if t = 'd' or 'D' color code will be in RGB,
if t = 'h' or 'H', color code will be in Hex,
if nothing passes default color code will be Hex.
Example:
r,g,b = fcolor ('d')
c = fcolor ('h') or c = fcolor ()
Argument: str : t
return: ccode: list if RGB, str if Hex
"""
ccode =[]
r= random.randint (0,255)
g= random.randint (0,255)
b= random.randint (0,255)
if t in ['d','D'] :
ccode.append(r)
ccode.append(g)
ccode.append(b)
return ccode
else:
# To convert the RGB color to Hex.
for each in [r,g,b] :
num = each
cl=[]
while num > 0 :
hexr = num % 16
if hexr < 10 :
cl.append(hexr)
elif hexr == 10 :
cl.append('A')
elif hexr == 11 :
cl.append('B')
elif hexr == 12 :
cl.append('C')
elif hexr == 13 :
cl.append('D')
elif hexr == 14 :
cl.append('E')
elif hexr == 15 :
cl.append('F')
num = int(num / 16)
cl.reverse()
co=''
for x in cl :
co = str(co) + str(x)
ccode.append(co)
cc='#'
for x in ccode :
cc = str(cc) + str(x)
ccode = cc
while len(ccode)-1 < 6:
ccode = ccode + '0'
return ccode
# Calling the function 3 times.
r,g,b = fcolor ('d')
print(' Color code as int RGB: ',r,g,b)
print(' Color code as list RGB:',fcolor ('d'))
print(' Color code as str Hex:',fcolor ())
[Output]:
Color code as int RGB: 47 202 248
Color code as list RGB: [59, 132, 99]
Color code as str Hex: #85B060
This is the fcolor “Fake color” function, next post will be about the random ID number and what if we want it to be meaningful.

python: Fake Data-set
Learning : Python to generate fake data-set
Subject: About Fake data library
Most of the time when we working on a project, we need to test our procedures and functions with some data. In most cases we need just dummy data such as dates, names, address .. and so-on.
Last week, I was reading on the net and i fond an article about generating fake data using a library in PHP (PHP is a Computer Programming Language) so I start to find if we have one in Python! and the answer is YES there is a library that we can import called ‘Fake’. I start to work on it and discover it. This post is about the Fake Data-set Library.
The library called ‘Faker’ and we need to install it in our python environment, i use : pip install Faker to install it. In it’s documentation we can use some properties like : name, city, date, job .. and others. So if we want to generate a fake name we write this:
# Using lib:fake to generate fake name print(fake.name()) [Output]: Victoria Campbell
Here is a screen-shot from Jupyter notbook screen.
|
To generate more than one name we can use for loop as:
# Using lib:fake to generate (X) fake name
for x in range (10) :
print(fake.name())
[Output]: Jared Hawkins
Michael Reid
Ricky Brown
Mary Tyler
Kristy Dudley
Karen Cain
Jennifer Underwood
Desiree Jensen
Carla Rivera
Brandon Cooper
Other properties that we can use are :address, company, job, country, date_time and many other, and with all this we can create a data-set full of fake data.
So if we want to create a fake data-set contain:
Name, Date-of-birth, Company, Job, Country as one person data we will use it like this:
# Using lib:fake to generate (X) person fake data
# Data-set contain: Name, Date-of-birth, Company, Job, Country
p_count = 1
for x in range (p_count):
print('Name:',fake.name())
print('DOB:',fake.date())
print('Company:',fake.company())
print('Job:',fake.job())
print('country:',fake.country())
[Output]:
Name: Crystal Mcconnell
DOB: 2002-09-30
Company: Bailey LLC
Job: Insurance underwriter
country: Pakistan
|
Now if we want to store the person data in a dictionary type variable and use it later, we can do this as following:
# Using lib:fake to generate (X) person fake data and store it in a dictionary
people_d ={}
p_count = 5
for x in range (p_count):
ID = x
people_d[ID]={'name':fake.name(),'date':fake.date(),'company':fake.company(),'job':fake.job(),'country':fake.country()}
# To print-out the people_d data-set.
for x in people_d :
print(people_d[x])
Just in case we want a complicated ID we can use a random function (8-dig) integer, or combining two fake numbers such as (fake.zipcode() and fake.postcode()) just to make sure that we will not have a duplicate ID.
Using fake library will help a lot, and it has many attributes and properties that can be inserted in a data-set. For more information on this document you may read it here: Fake Library

Python: Machine Learning – Part 3
Learning :Python and Machine Learning Part 3
Subject: Implementation and saving ML-Model
After creating a data-set and use it to train a ML model and make sure that it works fine and give a height accuracy predictions (Click here to read: Python and Machine Learning Part 2 ), we may or say we need to keep this model trained and re-use it on any actual data. In many real-life ML to training the model may take time with huge train data in image recognition or voice recognition models, so we need to keep the model trained even if we exit the application. To do this in sklearn we will use the “Model persistence” document page and use the joblib serialization.
First we need to import joblib , also import so to print out the file name and the path, we will use two functions in joblib (dump and load) in save_trained_model we will use the dump. Her is the code.
# Function to save a trained ML-Model
import joblib, os # To Import joblib and os
def save_trained_model(model_name):
print('\n You select to save the trained ML model.')
ml_name = input(' Enter a file name: ')
joblib.dump(model_name, ml_name)
print('\n --> ML Model been saved.\n')
print(' File Name is :',ml_name) # To print-out the file name
print(' File Path is :',os.path.abspath(ml_name)) # To print-out the file path
print('\n\n Do you want to save the ML trained Model? (Y,N): ' )
if input('') in ['y','Y'] :
save_trained_model(ML_trained_model)
Now after we save our trained ML-Model we want to load it and use it in our ML program without training our machine. I will use the function new_test_data() from part 2 and pass the ML trained model to it. And to do this, first we need to load the trained ML-Mode. So let’s do it.
# Function to load trained ML-Model
def load_ML_Model(ML_filename):
the_trained_model= joblib.load(ML_filename)
return the_trained_model
# we call the function in the main application code.
ML_model = load_ML_Model(ML_t_model_filename)
And now we will call our new_test_data() function and pass ML_model to see the prediction.
# Function to load trained ML-Model
def new_test_data(ML_model):
print('\n\n====================================================')
print('--------- START PREDICTION for New Data Set ---------')
print('\n In this function a new data set will be generated, ')
print(' and a trained ML-Model for "mouse on the coordinate plane" ')
print(' will be loaded from the disk. So we will not train the Model.')
#print(' So we will not train the Model. ')
#print(' will use the IF loops.')
new_data_size = 1000
new_data_range = 100
print('\n\n The new data range is {}, and the new data size is {}.'.format(new_data_range,new_data_size))
# generate new data
new_test_data1= []
for x in range (new_data_size):
new_test_data1.append([round(random.uniform(-new_data_range,new_data_range),2),round(random.uniform(-new_data_range,new_data_range),2)])
print('\n This is the prediction for the New Data set..\n')
# Do prediction using ML_model.
prediction = ML_model.predict(new_test_data1)
cot = 0
# check the predictions accuracy .
for i in range (len(prediction)) :
if prediction[i] =='Up_r':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) > 0 and (new_test_data1[i][1]) > 0) :
cot = cot + 1
elif prediction[i] =='Up_l':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) 0) :
cot = cot + 1
elif prediction[i] =='D_r':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) > 0 and (new_test_data1[i][1]) < 0) :
cot = cot + 1
elif prediction[i] =='D_l':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) < 0 and (new_test_data1[i][1]) < 0) :
cot = cot + 1
print('\n We count {} correct prediction out of {} Instances.'.format(cot,(new_data_size)))
print('\n The Accuracy is:',round((cot/len(prediction))*100,3),'%')

Python: Machine Learning – Part 2
Learning :Python and Machine Learning Part 2
Subject: Requirements, Sample and Implementation
Machine Learning Implementation : In the previous post (Click to Read: Python and Machine Learning Part 1) we start to learn about the ML Machine Learning and we use the sklearn model with Iris data-set. In this post we will generate our own data-set and tray to pass it to the ML model and find-out if the result are satisfying our needs.
First of all let’s talk about the data we want to collect, since we are doing tests and we can’t do anything on the accuracy checking part, I will select a very easy data so we can make sure that IF our ML-model select the right labels. So I will write a function to generate numbers (two pairs) positives and negatives to present the mouse location on the coordinate plane and the labels will be:
Up_r = Up Right, Up_l= Up Left,
D_r= Down Right, D_l= Down Left
So we have (4) classes 20 Instances in each, that’s 80 Instances in total.
The data will be passed into get_test_train_data() function, and it will return train, test data and labels, then we will train the model using the train_data() function, after that we will run the model on the test data to see if the model succeed in predicting the correct labels.
In this post I will cover the function that will generate the data and converting the data set into object data-set so we can use it in sklearn model without changing our code in part-1. I will use same data-set names as in sklearn Iris data-set.
Also we will write some information or say summary about the data we have and classes. So let’s see this part first..
## Data Set Characteristics :::
Creator: Ali Radwani 26/11/2019
Summary:
This function will generate a dataset for Machine Learning for
test and learning purpose. Numeric x,y represent the position
of the mouse on the coordinate plane.
Up_r = Up Right, Up_l= Up Left, D_r= Down Right, D_l= Down Left
Number of Instances: 80 (20 in each of four (4) classes)
Number of Attributes: 2 numeric (x,y), predictive attributes and the class.
Attribute Information:
x (Position)
y (Position)
class:
Up_r
Up_l
D_r
D_l
Once we create the data-set object we can append this information as description, adding descriptions to your data and applications is a good habit to learn and to have.
What is our data-set: From the summary part above we can see that we need to write a function to randomly generate two float number ranged from (-N) to (+N), N is our data_range. We assuming that these two numbers (pairs) are x, y of the mouse on the coordinate plane, so depending on each pairs (if it is negative or positive) we will add the corresponding class name, at the end we will have a list with tree values: x,y,label. Let’s see the code .
# Function to generate data-set
def data_set_generator():
d_size = 400 # data-set size
d_range = 200 # Data-set range
data_list=[]
nd1=[]
# FOR loop to generate the random float numbers
for x in range (d_size ):
nd1 =([round(random.uniform(-d_range,d_range),2),round(random.uniform(-d_range,d_range),2)])
# Here we append the x,y pairs with labels.
if nd1[0] > 0 and nd1[1] > 0 :
data_list.append([nd1[0],nd1[1],'Up_r'])
if nd1[0] 0 :
data_list.append([nd1[0],nd1[1],'Up_l'])
if nd1[0] > 0 and nd1[1] < 0 :
data_list.append([nd1[0],nd1[1],'D_r'])
if nd1[0] < 0 and nd1[1] < 0 :
data_list.append([nd1[0],nd1[1],'D_l'])
# We use shuffling the data-set to mix the data more
for x in range (5): # To mix the data
random.shuffle(data_list)
return data_list # Return the data-set
![]() |
During writing the Machine Learning ML code to use Iris data-set, the data itself, the labels and other parts was called as an object from the main data-set. So here we need to create several sets of our data then we append them all to-gather. First I will split the data into two sets, one for the data and one for the targets(labels).
# Function to prepare data-set
def dataset_prepare(the_dataset):
'''
input: dataset
The function will split the dataset into 2 sets, one for data (data_set)
and one for labels (target_set)
'''
target_set = []
data_set = []
for x in range (len(the_dataset)) :
data_set.append([the_dataset[x][0],the_dataset[x][1]])
target_set.append([the_dataset[x][2]])
return data_set, target_set
prepare data set
|
With above two functions we can now train our model and test it to see accuracy predictions. To make sure again that we can let our ML model to predict more new data-set, I create another function that will generate another set of data, I create this function to see try or say to be confident that YES the model is working. So let’s see the code. .
# Function to create New dataset
def new_test_data():
print( '\n\n====================================================' )
print( '--------- START PREDICTION for new data set ---------' )
print( '\n This is new data set, not the test one.. so there is ' )
print( ' no labels to do comparing and to get the accuracy we ' )
print( ' will use the IF loops.' )
new_data_size = 5000 # data-set size
new_data_range = 300 # data-set range
print( ' The new data range is {}, and the new data size is {}.'.format( new_data_range, new_data_size ) )
new_test_data1 = []
# To generate the new data set.
for x in range( new_data_size ):
new_test_data1.append( [round( random.uniform( -new_data_range, new_data_range ), 2 ),
round( random.uniform( -new_data_range, new_data_range ), 2 )] )
print( '\n\n This is the prediction for the New Data set..\n' )
prediction = clf.predict( new_test_data1 )
cot = 0
# Here we start counting the accuracy
for i in range( len( prediction ) ):
if prediction[i] == 'Up_r':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) > 0 and (new_test_data1[i][1]) > 0):
cot = cot + 1
elif prediction[i] == 'Up_l':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) 0):
cot = cot + 1
elif prediction[i] == 'D_r':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) > 0 and (new_test_data1[i][1]) < 0):
cot = cot + 1
elif prediction[i] == 'D_l':
if ((new_test_data1[i][0]) < 0 and (new_test_data1[i][1]) < 0):
cot = cot + 1
print( '\n We count {} correct prediction out of {} Instances.'.format( cot, (new_data_size) ) )
print( '\n The Accuracy is:', round( (cot / len( prediction )) * 100, 3 ), '%' )
Wrapping-up: In this post we wrote a function to generate a data-set and split it into two parts one for training and one for testing. Then we test the model with fresh new data-set that been generated via another function. Here is a screenshot of the final result.

Python: Machine Learning – Part 1
Learning :Python and Machine Learning
Subject: Requirements, Sample and Implementation
Machine Learning: I will not go through definitions and uses of ML, I think there is a lot of other posts that may be more informative than whatever i will write. In this post I will write about my experience and learning carve to learn and implement ML model and test my own data.
The Story: Two, three days ago I start to read and watch videos about Machine Learning, I fond the “scklearn” site, from there I create the first ML to test an Iris data-set and then I wrote a function to generate data (my own random data) and test it with sklearn ML model.
Let’s start ..
Requirements:
1. Library to Import: To work with sklearn models and other functions that we will use, we need to import coming libraries:
import os # I will use it to clear the terminal.
import random # I will use it to generate my data-set.
import numpy as np
import bunch # To create data-set as object
from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn import svm
from sklearn import tree
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split as tts
2. Data-set: In my learning steps I use one of sklearn data-set named ” Iris” it store information about a flower called ‘Iris’. To use sklear ML Model on other data-sets, I create several functions to generate random data that can be passed into the ML, I will cover this part later in another post.
First we will see what is the Iris dataset, this part of information is copied from sklearn site.
::Iris dataset description ::
dataset type: Classification
contain: 3 classes, 50 Samples per class (Total of 150 sample)
4 Dimensionality
Features: real, positive
The data is Dictionary-like object, the interesting attributes are:
‘data’: the data to learn.
‘target’: the classification labels.
‘target_names’: the meaning of the labels.
‘feature_names’: the meaning of the features.
‘DESCR’: the full description of the dataset.
‘filename’: the physical location of iris csv.
Note: This part helps me to write me data-set generating function, that’s why we import the Bunch library to add lists to a data-set so it will appear as an object data-set, so the same code we use for Iris data-set will work fine with our data-set. In another post I will cover I will load the data from csv file and discover how to create a such file..
Start Writing the code parts: After I wrote the code and toned it, I create several functions to be called with other data-set and not hard-code any names in iris data-set. This way we can load other data-set in easy way.
The Code
# import libraries import numpy as np from sklearn import datasets #from sklearn import svm from sklearn import tree from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split as tts import random, bunch
Next step we will load the iris dataset into a variable called “the_data”
# loading the iris dataset. the_data = datasets.load_iris()
From the above section “Iris dataset description” we fond that the data is stored in data, and the classification labels stored in target, so now we will store the data and the target in another two variables.
# load the data into all_data, and target in all_labels. all_data= the_data.data all_labels = the_data.target
We will create an object called ‘clf’ and will use the Decision Tree Classifier from sklearn.
# create Decision Tree Classifier clf = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier()
In Machine Learning programs, we need some data for training and another set of data for testing before we pass the original data or before we deploy our code for real data. The sklearn providing a way or say function to split a given data into two parts test and train. To do this part and to split the dataset into training and test I create a function that we will call and pass data and label set to it and it will return the following : train_data, test_data, train_labels, test_labels.
# Function to split a data-set into training and testing data. def get_test_train_data(data,labels): train_data, test_data, train_labels, test_labels = tts(data,labels,test_size = 0.1) return train_feats, test_feats, train_labels, test_labels
After splitting the data we will have four list or say data-sets, we will pass the train_data and the train_labels to the train_me() function, I create this function so we can pass the train_data, train_labels and it will call the (clf.fit) from sklearn. By finishing this part we have trained our ML Model and is ready to test a sample data. But first let’s see the train_me() function.
# Function train_me() will pass the train_data to sklearn Model.
def train_me(train_data1,train_labels1):
clf.fit(train_data1,train_labels1)
print('\n The Model been trained. ')
As we just say, now we have a trained Model and ready for testing. To test the data set we will use the clf.predict function in sklearn, this should return a prediction labels list as the ML Model think that is right. To check if the predictions of the Model is correct or not also to have the percentage of correct answers we will count and compare the prediction labels with the actual labels in the test_data that we have. Here is the code for get_prediction()
# get_prediction() to predict the data labels.
def get_prediction(new_data_set,test_labels2,accu):
print('\n This is the prediction labels of the data.\n')
# calling prediction function clf.predict
prediction = clf.predict(new_data_set)
print('\n prediction labels are : ',prediction,len(prediction))
# print the Accuracy
if accu == 't' :
cot = 0
for i in range (len(prediction)) :
print(prediction[i] , new_data_set[i],test_labels2[i])
if [prediction[i]] == test_labels2[i]:
cot = cot + 1
print('\ncount :',cot)
print('\n The Accuracy:',(cot/len(prediction))*100,'%')
The accuracy value determine if we can use the model in a real life or tray to use other model. In the real data scenario, we need to pass ‘False’ flag for accu, because we can’t cross check the predicted result with any data, we can try to check manually for some result.
End of part 1: by now, we have all functions that we can use with our data-set, in coming images of the code and run-time screen we can see that we have a very high accuracy level so we can use our own data-set, and this will be in the coming post.

So, we have a canvas size (w,h) and we want to write a code to draw X number of circles in this area without any overlapping or intersecting between circles. We will write some functions to do this task, thous functions are:
1. c_draw (x1,y1,di): This function will take three arguments x1,y1 for circle position and di as circle diameter.
2. draw_fram(): This function will draw the frame on the screen, we set the frame_w and frame_h as variables in the setup area in the code.
3. c_generator (max_di): c_generator is the circles generating function, and takes one argument max_di presenting the maximum circles diameter. To generate a circle we will generate three random numbers for x position, y position and for circle diameter (max_di is the upper limit),also with each generating a while loop will make sure that the circle is inside the frame, if not regenerate another one.
4. can_we_draw_it (q1,di1): This is very important, to make sure that the circle is not overlapping with any other we need to use a function call (hypot) from math library hypot return the distance between two points, then if the distance between two circles is less than the total of there diameters then the two circles are not overlaps.

So, lets start coding …
First: the import and setup variables:
from turtle import * import random import math # Create a turtle named t: t =Turtle() t.speed(0) t.hideturtle() t.setheading(0) t.pensize(0.5) t.penup() # frame size frame_w = 500 frame_h = 600 di_list = [] # To hold the circles x,y and diameters
![]() |
Now, Drawing the frame function:
def draw_fram () :t.penup()
t.setheading(0)
t.goto(-frame_w/2,frame_h/2)
t.pendown()
t.forward(frame_w)
t.right(90)
t.forward(frame_h)
t.right(90)
t.forward(frame_w)
t.right(90)
t.forward(frame_h)
t.penup()
t.goto(0,0)
Now, Draw circle function:
def c_draw (x1,y1,di):t.goto(x1,y1)
t.setheading(-90)
t.pendown()
t.circle(di)
t.penup()
This is Circles generator, we randomly select x,y and diameter then checks if it is in or out the canvas.
def c_generator (max_di):falls_out_frame = True
while falls_out_frame :
x1 = random.randint(-(frame_w/2),(frame_w/2))
y1 = random.randint(-(frame_h/2),(frame_h/2))
di = random.randint(3,max_di)
# if true circle is in canvas
if (x1-di > ((frame_w/2)*-1)) and (x1-di < ((frame_w/2)-(di*2))) :
if (y1 ((frame_h/2)-(di))*-1) :
falls_out_frame = False
di_list.append([x1-di,y1,di])
|
With each new circle we need to check the distances and the diameter between new circle and all circles we have in the list, if there is an overlap then we delete the new circle data (using di_list.pop()) and generate a new circle. So to get the distances and sum of diameters we use this code ..
# get circles distance
cs_dis = math.hypot(((last_cx + last_cdi) - (c_n_list_x + c_n_list_di)) , (last_cy - c_n_list_y))
di_total = last_cdi + c_n_list_di
To speed up the generation of right size of circles I use a method of counting the trying times of wrong sizes, that’s mean if the circles is not fit, and we pop it’s details from the circles list we count pops, if we reach certain number then we reduce the upper limits of random diameter of the new circles we generate. Say we start with max_di = 200, then if we pop for a number that divide by 30 (pop%30) then we reduce the max_di with (-1) and if we reach max_di less then 10 then max_di = 60. and we keep doing this until we draw 700 circles.
# if di_list pops x time then we reduce the randomization upper limits
if (total_pop % 30) == 0:
max_di = max_di - 1
if max_di < 10 :
max_di = 60
Here are some output circles packing ..
|
|
With current output we reach the goal we are looking for, although there is some empty spaces, but if we increase the number of circles then there will be more time finding those area with random (x,y,di) generator, I am thinking in another version of this code that’s will cover:
1. Coloring the circles based on the diameter size.
2. A method to fill the spaces.

Subject: numpy array and some basic commands
The numpy lessons and basic commands will take us to plotting the data and presenting the numbers using the numpy and plot packages, but first we need to do more practices on arrays and functions in the numpy.
To get a row or a column from the array we use:
# Generate a 5x5 random array:
ar = np.random.randint(10,60, size=(5,5))
print('\n A random generated array 5x5 is: \n',ar)
# get the rows from 1 to 3 (rows 1 and 2):
print('\n The rows from 1 to 3 is: \n',ar[1:3])
# get row 1 and row 3:
print('\n The row 1 and row 2 is: \n',ar[1],ar[3])
# get the column 1 and column 3:
print('\n The column 1 and column 3: \n',ar[:,[1,3]])
[Output]:
A random generated array 5x5 is:
[[59 43 46 44 39]
[16 15 14 19 22]
[59 16 33 59 19]
[21 15 51 41 28]
[48 46 58 33 19]]
The rows from 1 to 3 is:
[[16 15 14 19 22]
[59 16 33 59 19]]
The row 1 and row 2 is:
[16 15 14 19 22]
[21 15 51 41 28]
The column 1 and column 3:
[[43 44]
[15 19]
[16 59]
[15 41]
[46 33]]
To change a value in the array we give the position and new value as:
# Generate a 5x5 random array:
ar = np.random.randint(10,60, size=(5,5))
print('\n A random generated array 5x5 is: \n',ar)
print('\n Value in position (1,1):',ar[1][1])
# Re-set the value in position (1,1) to 55
ar[1][1] = 55
print('\n The array ar\n',ar)
code
[Output]:
A random generated array 5x5 is:
[[39 53 34 59 30]
[33 10 42 20 36]
[10 37 20 35 28]
[26 18 14 41 24]
[48 22 19 18 44]]
Value in position (1,1): 10
The array ar
[[39 53 34 59 30]
[33 55 42 20 36]
[10 37 20 35 28]
[26 18 14 41 24]
[48 22 19 18 44]]
If we have a one dimension array with values, and we want to create another array with values after applying a certain conditions, such as all values grater than 7.
# Create 1D array of range 10
ar = np.arange(10)
print(ar)
# ar_g7 is a sub array from ar of values grater then 7
ar_g7= np.where(ar >7)
print('ar_g7:'ar_g7)
[Output]:
[0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
ar_g7:(array([8, 9]),)
If we want to pass a 3×3 array and then we want the values to be changed to (1) if it is grater than 7 and to be (0) if it is less than 7.
# Generate a 3x3 array of random numbers.
ar2 = np.random.randint(1,10, size =(3,3))
print(ar2)
# Change any value grater than 7 to 1 and if less than 7 to 0.
ar_g7= np.where(ar2 >7, 1 ,0)
print('ar_g7:',ar_g7)
[Output]:
[[6 4 2]
[8 5 1]
[5 2 8]]
ar_g7:
[[0 0 0]
[1 0 0]
[0 0 1]]
Also we can say if, the value in the array is equal to 6 or 8 then change it to -1.
# Generate array of 3x3
ar2 = np.random.randint(1,10, size =(3,3))
print(ar2)
# If the = 6 or 8 change it to (-1)
ar_get_6_8_value= np.where((ar2 == 6) |( ar2==8), -1 ,ar2)
print('ar_get_6_8_value:',ar_get_6_8_value)
[Output]:
[[3 4 8]
[1 9 3]
[5 6 6]]
ar_get_6_8_value:
[[ 3 4 -1]
[ 1 9 3]
[ 5 -1 -1]]
We can get the index location of the certain conditions values, and then we can print it out.
# # Generate array of 3x3
ar_less_6= np.where((ar2 < 6) )
print('ar_less_6 locations:',ar_less_6)
# print out the values on those locations.
print('ar_less_6 values: ',ar2[ar_less_6])
[Output]:
[[6 1 9]
[1 8 6]
[6 9 2]]
ar_less_6 locations: (array([0, 1, 2]), array([1, 0, 2]))
ar_less_6 values :[1 1 2]

Subject: Two Dimensional array and some basic commands
In real mathematics word we mostly using arrays with more than one dimensions, for example with two dimension array we can store a data as
So let’s start, if we want to create an array with 24 number in it starting from 0 to 23 we use the command np.range. as bellow :
# We are using np.range to create an array of numbers between (0-23) m_array = np.arange(24) print(m_array) [Output]: [ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23]
And if we want the array to be in a range with certain incriminating amount we may use this command:
# Create array between 2-3 with 0.1 interval m_array = np.arange(2, 3, 0.1) print(m_array) [Output]: [ 2. , 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9]
Now if we want to create an array say 3×3 fill with random numbers from (0-10) we use random function in numpy as bellow:
# create 3x3 Array with random numbers 0-10 m_array = np.random.randint(10, size=(3,3)) print(m_array) [Output]: [[6 0 7] [1 9 8] [5 8 9]]
|
And if we want the random number ranges to be between two numbers we use this command:
# Array 3x3 random values between (10-60) m_array = np.random.randint(10,60, size=(3,3)) [Output]: [[11 23 50] [36 44 18] [56 24 30]]
If we want to reshape the array; say from 4×5 (20 element in the array) we can reshape it but with any 20-element size. Here is the code:
# To crate a randome numbers in an array of 4x5 and numbers range 10-60.
m_array = np.random.randint(10,60, size=(4,5))
print(m_array)
# We will reshape the 4x5 to 2x10
new_shape = m_array.reshape(2,10)
print ('\n Tne new 2x10 array:\n',new_shape)
[Output]:
[[37 11 56 18 42]
[17 12 22 16 42]
[47 29 17 47 35]
[49 55 43 13 11]]
Tne new 2x10 array:
[[37 11 56 18 42 17 12 22 16 42]
[47 29 17 47 35 49 55 43 13 11]]
Also we can convert a list to an array,
# Convert a list l=([2,4,6,8]) to a 1D array
# l is a list with [2,4,6,8] values.
l=([2,4,6,8])
print(' l= ',l)
# Convert it to a 1D array.
ar = np.array(l)
print('\n Type of l:',type(l),', Type of ar:',type(ar))
print(' ar = ',ar)
[Output]:
l= [2, 4, 6, 8]
Type of: class'list' , Type of ar: class 'numpy.ndarray'
ar = [2 4 6 8]
If we want to add a value to all elements in the array, we just write:
# Adding 9 to each element in the array
print('ar:',ar)
ar = ar + 9
print('ar after adding 9:',ar)
[Output]:
ar: [2 4 6 8]
ar after adding 9: [11 13 15 17]

Subject: Numpay and some basic commands
In coming several posts I will talk about the numpay library and how to use some of its functions. So first what is numpy? Definition: NumPy is a library for the Python programming language, adding support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a large collection of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these arrays. Also known as powerful package for scientific computing and data manipulation in python. As any library or package in python we need to install it on our device (we will not go through this process)
Basic commands in numpy: First of all we need to import it in our code. so we will use
import numpy as np
To create a 1 dimensional array we can use verey easy way as:
# create an array using numpy array function. my_array = np.array([1, 2, 3,4,5])
Later we will create a random array of numbers in a range.
Now, to get the length of the array we can use len command as
len(my_array) Output: 5
To get the sum of all elements in the array we use..
np.sum(my_array)
And to get the maximum and minimum numbers in the array we use ..
# Get the maximum and minimum numbers in the array my_array = np.array([1, 2, 3,4,5]) np.max(my_array) [Output]: 5 np.min(my_array) [Output]: 1
Some time we may need to create an array with certain Number of elements only one’s, to do this we can use this commands:
#create array of 1s (of length 5) np.ones(5) Output: [ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.]
The default data type will be float, if we want to change it we need to pass the the ‘dtype’ to the command like this :
#create array of 1s (of length 5) as integer: np.ones(5, dtype = np.int) Output: [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Code output:

So far we work on a one dimensional array, in the next post we will cover some commands that will help us in the arrays with multiple dimensions.
:: numpy Commands::
| Command | comment |
| my_array = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]) | Create an array with 1 to 5 integer |
| len(my_array) | Get the array length |
| np.sum(my_array) | get the sum of the elements in the array my_array = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]) print(np.sum(my_array)) [Output]: 15 |
| np.max(my_array) | # Get the maximum number in the array my_array = np.array([1, 2, 3,4,5]) max_num = np.max(my_array) [Output]: 5 |
| np.min(my_array) | # Get the minimum number in the array my_array = np.array([1, 2, 3,4,5]) min_num = np.min(my_array) [Output]: 1 |
|
my_array = np.ones(5) Output: [ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.] |
create array of 1s (of length 5) np.ones(5) Output: [ 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.] |
