In plain words

A simple algorithm for drawing complex tables is a tool designed for anyone needing to create intricate table layouts efficiently. It provides a straightforward algorithmic approach to handle the complexity of table generation, making the process less time-consuming than manual design. The tool is suitable for developers, designers, and content creators who regularly work with structured data presentation.

    A coloring book of data structures and algorithms2017 · ▲523

    I'm making a coloring book of data structures and algorithms for programmers and students. So far I have a prototype page for a sorting algorithm (albeit a rather simple one). Here the Selection Sort coloring pages you can print. https://coderscoloringbook.com/selectionsort And here is how I colored mine. https://coderscoloringbook.com/selectionsortcolored A coloring book is not quite enough to teach algorithms on its own, but I really get a lot from visual reinforcement of what I learn from books/lectures. Do you think having coloring pages like this could…

  • Synthesize TikZ Graphics Programs for Scientific Figures and Sketches2024 · github.com · ▲132

    Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…
