A Jupyter notebook repository for plotting reported bike theft (bikewise.org) from January 1, 2018 to April 3, 2020.

plot_bikewise.ipynb and gif_generator.ipynb complement each other in:

1. Gathering line plots of reported bike thefts from Bikewise.
2. Converting these figures to a gif.
   
   

This script requires Python 3.5 and above. Please see requirements.txt for required Python libraries. Clone this repository and use pip to install the necessary libraries, like this:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run plot_bikewise.ipynb entirely. Figures will accumulate in the ./figs directory.

Then, run the entirety of gif_generator.ipynb. Provide an appropriate name for your gif when prompted in main(). This will create a .gif file of your .png images in the ./gifs directory.

A .png file can range from 30kb to >200kb in size. Accumulating thousands of figures can lead to a large .gif file. For example, ~1000 figures could lead to a ~ 200 MB gif image.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
