Notebooks and Visualizations¶

The hyperbase.notebook package contains functions that are specifically meant for use with Jupyter notebooks. Currently it provides three hyperedge visualizations, meant to be used inside notebooks.

The function show() produces an indented visualization with syntax highlighting according to hyperedge type:

from hyperbase.notebook import *
show('((first/M published/P.sox) einstein/C (the/M (of/B theory/C relativity/C)) (in/T 1905/C))')

The optional argument style specifies layout style. The two possible options are "indented" (the default) and "line".

Example of hyperedge visualization with show().

The function blocks() produces a block diagram, also using colors to distinguish hyperedge types:

blocks('((first/M published/P.sox) einstein/C (the/M (of/B theory/C relativity/C)) (in/T 1905/C))')

Example of hyperedge visualization with blocks().

The function vblocks() also produces a block diagram similar to blocks(), which is more vertically spread and might thus be preferable for complex hyperedges:

from hyperbase import hedge
edge = hedge("""(reports/Pd.sx wikipedia/C (that/T
                 (and/J
                     ((first/M published/Pd.sox) einstein/Cp.s (the/M (of/B theory/C relativity/C)) (in/T 1905/C))
                     (revolutionized/P.o physics/C))))""")
vblocks(edge)

Example of hyperedge visualization with vblocks().

Both blocks() and vblocks() accept the optional arguments "subtypes" (default: False), "argroles" (default: True) and "namespaces" (default: False). These are meant to control the level of detail at which atoms are represented.
