PostGraphe: A System for the Generation of Statistical Graphics and Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graphics and text have to be well integrated in order to achieve their full potential. A picture shows but a text describes. In a statistical report, graphics show the data that is analyzed in the text. This paper describes a system, called PostGraphe, which generates a report integrating graphics and text from a single set of writer’s intentions. The system is given the data in tabular form as might be found in a spreadsheet; also input is a declaration of the types of values in the columns of the table. The user chooses the intentions to be conveyed in the graphics (e.g. compare two variables, show the evolution of a set of variables ...) and the system generates a report in LATEX with the appropriate PostScript graphic files.

متن کاملDirectional Stroke Width Transform to Separate Text and Graphics in City Maps
One of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. In these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. Usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. In most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. Moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...
متن کاملImprovement of generative adversarial networks for automatic text-to-image generation
This research is related to the use of deep learning tools and image processing technology in the automatic generation of images from text. Previous researches have used one sentence to produce images. In this research, a memory-based hierarchical model is presented that uses three different descriptions that are presented in the form of sentences to produce and improve the image. The proposed ...
