Development Path

Projected path

Move towards 1.0

• Text CLI with GUI file/folder selection

• Minimal/no image processing

• Installable

  • Executable (at least on Windows)
  • Installs and runs in own python env

• Some sort of plan for installing updates without losing data

Processing of supplied avatar images

• Essentially, allow scanned images of any size, with however much whitespace/contrast, to process into usable good looking avatars

Full GUI

• Desktop based, offline or online hosted webapp?
  • Online could allow multiple users for same data (eg school/district subject departments)
  • Online would allow hosted data available across machines and remotely

Potential advanced charts

• Contrast classes
• Graph scores over time
• Multiple assessments one chart
• Improved databasing for data analysis

Planned features

OS native GUI for file/folder selection

Editable data

• Need to be able to correct, modify, add/remove user data
• Edit classnames
• Edit student names and add/change/remove avatars
• Add/remove students from classes
  • possible option to move from one class to another
• possible option to have change filter through to previously created chart data. Regeneration of charts based on data and avatar files/filenames that no longer exist will otherwise be very buggy. . - might be simpler if proper database is implemented

Set chart image save folder

• At present images default to saving in current working directory
• User defined chart save folder
  • subfolders automatically created for each class
  • change to save loc -> save_path/ + classname/ + chartname
• Prompt to select on first run, otherwise default to folder in same folder as app folder
• Add settings option in main menu, with submenu setting to change default image save folder
• Set save folder spawns a GUI directory select

Avatar processing

• Avatars copy to class avatars folder
• Take all/most image types and convert to .png using Pillow.
• Copy original image to avatars folder also with _original or _full appended to the name the avatar is copied into the avatar folder with.
• Resize avatars to 150×150px
  • Or/and figure out how to dynamically resize
• Process via cropping, removing whitespace etc
  • Possibly have GUI allowing user to manually crop

Chart/image generation and custom options

• Link avatar sizing/spacing to chart features
  • Would allow dynamic cropping of axis to data - ie if all scores are > 50, 0-40 doesn't need to be in chart etc
• Titles/class name in chart image

Implement proper database
