Org Chart

A very simple python application to generate an organsiation chart from a CSV file. Specifically, one formatted as a circular hierarchy.

NOTE There seems to be an issue at the moment with Python 3.10 and PyQt5 involving conversions between float and int. It looks like this used to be done automatically and PyQt relied upon that when calculating the canvas size for the image. Now it is no longer automatic we crash with a TypeError

PDF export still works for now and as fixes land will update the readme

Dependencies

The project has the following dependencies

• ete3
  • PyQt5
  • scipy
  • six
• click
• webcolors

Installation

virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install . 
``

## Py QT being "special"

PyQt5 is required by ete3 for the TreeView types, it does not appear to work
with PyQt6 but I wouldn't argue I've really looked into working out why. Thus,
if the depednecy installation fails try install qt5


```commandline
brew install qt5

The second "fun" thing to note is currently PyQt is also broken, there seems to be some logic in the installer about licence acceptence being automatic that unless specified to pip just hangs. Thus, if install pyqt5 hangs try

pip install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose

Usage

Assuming the virtual environment is activated

orgchart <csv file>

# By default the script will treat the first employee it finds with no
# supervisor as the most senior employee and the center of the web.
# To use a different eployee, specify them by name with the --root flag
orgchart <csv file> --root <manager>

Will produce a file called org_chart.py

Specifying the filename

orgchart <csv file> --root <manager> --file <filename>

Example

orgchart examples/example.csv

orgchart examples/example.csv --root "Vicky Shah"
