Quickstart

From a clean install to a bundled text in one sitting. Every snippet is runnable as-is.

Installation

uv add lexograph

lexograph is pure Python — it renders figures with matplotlib and needs no JavaScript runtime. Its core dependencies are numpy, matplotlib, and nltk.

Load the bundled text

lexograph ships a tiny public-domain demo text — the first chapter of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice — so every example runs with no downloads.

from lexograph import load_demo_text

text = load_demo_text()
print(text[:52])
# It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a singl

Next steps

The preset front ends (punctuation spiral, text walk, recurrence dotplot, concordance) land over the following build phases. Each one segments this text, lays the units out, encodes per-unit attributes, and returns a matplotlib Figure you can save with fig.savefig(...) or display inline in Jupyter.
