evacuation floorplan design

Introduction

A PySimpleGUI-based graphical grid that allows users to annotate locations for various kinds of terrains/members:

• N (normal/none)
• F (fire/danger)
• B (bottleneck--e.g., exit)
• W (wall)
• S (safe)
• P (people)

A square in the grid may be 0 or 1 of {N, F} AND 0 or 1 of {W, B} If nothing, a square must have at least the 'N' attribute

The program outputs a graph as a pickled dictionary:

graph = {
          (i,j): {'W': 0 or 1, 'N': 0 or 1, 'F': 0 or 1, 'B': 0 or 1, 'S': 0 or 1,
                            'distF': ..., 'distS': ..., 
                  'nbrs': set},
            .
            .
            .
        }

Usage

First, launch via commandline

./floorplan.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT] R C

design a floor plan for egress simulation programs

positional arguments:
  R                     number of rows in the grid. max: 20
  C                     number of cols in the grid. max: 20

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        name of file to output plan to (default: floor.txt)

Once in the GUI

1. Annotate To annotate a square, click on a square in the grid. Click again to undo.

2. Select mode To choose the attribute you wish to annotate with using Options > Editing mode.

3. Save to file Choose File > Save in order to save the layout to pickle (default: floor.txt.pkl)

4. Load and edit existing file Click on Menu > Open (from floor.txt.pkl)

Example output

Here's a sample 10x10 grid.

Below is the output created from this grid.
