The Pythagoras flower is an extension of the Pythagorean theorem: the area of the polygon built on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the polygons built on the cathetes.

By the class PythagorasFlower you can generate svg drawings for Pythagoras flower with polygons with many sides.

This class is based on the library svg.py by Orsinium Labs. You have to install it to make pyflower run.

Import the library:

import pyflower as pyf

Create an object of the class PythagorasFlower:

mypyf = pyf.PythagorasFlower(left_cathetus= 30, right_cathetus = 40, sides =10)

When you instantiate a PythagorasFlower object you can set the length of the cathetes, the number of sides of the bigger polygon or activate the animation and set the colors of the lines and of the areas. There are specific methods for these settings.

Save the string returned by the method get_flower_svg:

mypyf.get_flower_svg()

However, you can get the list of the corollas by the method get_corollas_svg:

list_of_corollas = mypyf.get_corollas_svg()

Look at the examples. Enjoy!
