add parastell tool, overhaul text wrapping, allow more generalized text in plot #11

plot_parastell_build.py
Outdated
There was a problem hiding this comment.
What if instead of a different script, this just had a method that extracted a radial build from a parastell build, and then the normal plot_radial_build script could be used?
We shouldn't need to worry about all the plot details in a method that is basically just interpreting a parastell radial build. (separation of concerns)

Maybe went a little over top here, but I combined the functions in plot_radial_build.py into a class, and added a method that interprets parastell builds rather than have a separate script as you suggested. Updated the examples to reflect this change as well. I imagine in the future perhaps the radial build class can be more of its own thing if additional functionality is desired, and just have a method for plotting, rather than having plotting being the main purpose of the class. Sorry for the big diff, almost everything is the same just moved around a bit for use in the class
…d, with parastell method

superseded by #13 |
plot_parastell_build.py
plot_parastell_build takes a parastell build dict, and phi and theta value, along with the usual plot_radial_build inputs and extracts/formats the data how plot_radial_build likes it, then calls plot_radial_build to make the image and yml file.
plot_radial_build.py
Speaking of, plot_radial_build can now write the yml representation of the plot, and does so by default, along with the usual png.
Additionally, I overhauled how text gets formatted and put into the rectangles, to allow for more flexibility and introduced a 'description' element to the layer dict that allows arbitrary text to be added to each rectangle.
Each layer in the plot_radial_build dict can now have any combination of the three keys, and can also be empty.
General Updates
I added a couple examples as well and updated the readme to indicate they exist, and describe calling plot_radial_build from the command line
Demonstration

closes #10
closes #8 (not notebooks, but I can change that if desired)
