octa 1.0.0 documentation

This is the documentation for The Order and Complexity Toolbox for Aesthetics (OCTA) version 1.0.0, last updated Aug 25, 2021.

The OCTA Python toolbox was created by Van Geert, Bossens, and Wagemans (2021) as a tool for researchers to create stimuli varying in order and complexity on different dimensions. It was created in Python 3.8 and is dependent on the following Python libraries: svgwrite, svg.path, svgpathtools, svgutils, jsonpickle, html2image, svglib, reportlab, colour, and IPython. We thank the developers of each of these libraries and of the Python programming language.
