The art project "Leave a Trace" (LAT) records an displays people movement in real time. It is installed as a permanent exhibition within the Charité in Berlin, Germany. Please find more Details about LAT here: https://leave-a-trace.charite.de/action This sourceforge project provides python tools to read the raw XML data produced by LAT. The data reading module works with python2 and python3. LAT XML Data can be downloaded here: https://leave-a-trace.charite.de/action/xml_dateien_der_traces/ ## Visualization tool: This project also contains a GUI-based visualization tool, which allows creation of custom vector data (SVG) from the given LAT data. This SVG data could, for example, be used for printing. If you want to use the visualization tool, as well, you'll need python2, along with the modules "numpy", "scipy" and "PyQt4". How to use: 1. Start the script 2. click the load button and select a compressed LAT-XML-file 3. click on "render SVG" (save somewhere)

Manuzio makes type design more fun. It is a font object model and manipulation library for (and in) Python. It will ease the type-design process, and allow experimentation in algorithmic glyph creation. This project also releases other font utilities.
