Hope you are doing great!
Today, We are going to make Covid-19 Tracker Application Using Python which you can assume to be a medium level project as we will need to use three Python libraries.
Here, we are going to create a GUI application to track the COVID-19 cases.
We need to use three different libraries here.
- tkinter – The tkinter package (“Tk interface”) is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit.
- matplotlib – Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.
- covid – to get COVID data
To install “matplotlib” go to terminal and type
"pip install matplotlib"
Python community has made a library to get the COVID-19 information easily called “covid“.
To install “covid
” go to terminal and type
pip install covid
Note:For this program use python version >= 3.6
Code With Comments
Now lets see and understand the code.
# importing tkinter
from tkinter import *
# initializing tkinter
root = Tk()
# setting geometry
root.geometry("350x350")
# setting title
root.title("Get Covid-19 Data Country Wise")
# function which will get covid data and will show it
def showdata():
# importing matplotlib which will be used to show data graphically
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
# to scale the data we are importing patches
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
# importing covid library
from covid import Covid
# initializing covid library
covid = Covid()
# declaring empty lists to store different data sets
cases = []
confirmed = []
active = []
deaths = []
recovered = []
# using try and except to run program without errors
try:
# updating root
root.update()
# getting countries names entered by the user
countries = data.get()
# removing white spaces from the start and end of the string
country_names = countries.strip()
# replacing white spaces with commas inside the string
country_names = country_names.replace(" ", ",")
# splitting the string to store names of countries
# as a list
country_names = country_names.split(",")
# for loop to get all countries data
for x in country_names:
# appending countries data one-by-one in cases list
# here, the data will be stored as a dictionary
# for one country i.e. for each country
# there will be one dictionary in the list
# which will contain the whole information
# of that country
cases.append(covid.get_status_by_country_name(x))
# updating the root
root.update()
# for loop to get one country data stored as dict in list cases
for y in cases:
# storing every Country's confirmed cases in the confirmed list
confirmed.append(y["confirmed"])
# storing every Country's active cases in the active list
active.append(y["active"])
# storing every Country's deaths cases in the deaths list
deaths.append(y["deaths"])
# storing every Country's recovered cases in the recovered list
recovered.append(y["recovered"])
# marking the color information on scaleusing patches
confirmed_patch = mpatches.Patch(color='green', label='confirmed')
recovered_patch = mpatches.Patch(color='red', label='recovered')
active_patch = mpatches.Patch(color='blue', label='active')
deaths_patch = mpatches.Patch(color='black', label='deaths')
# plotting the scale on graph using legend()
plt.legend(handles=[confirmed_patch, recovered_patch, active_patch, deaths_patch])
# showing the data using graphs
# this whole for loop section is related to matplotlib
for x in range(len(country_names)):
plt.bar(country_names[x], confirmed[x], color='green')
if recovered[x] > active[x]:
plt.bar(country_names[x], recovered[x], color='red')
plt.bar(country_names[x], active[x], color='blue')
else:
plt.bar(country_names[x], active[x], color='blue')
plt.bar(country_names[x], recovered[x], color='red')
plt.bar(country_names[x], deaths[x], color='black')
# setting the title of the graph
plt.title('Current Covid Cases')
# giving label to x direction of graph
plt.xlabel('Country Name')
# giving label to y direction of graph
plt.ylabel('Cases(in millions)')
# showing the full graph
plt.show()
except Exception as e:
# asking user to enter correct details
# during entering the country names on GUI
# please differentiate the country names
# with spaces or comma but not with both
# otherwise you will come to this section
data.set("Enter correct details again")
Label(root, text="Enter all countries names\nfor whom you want to get\ncovid-19 data", font="Consolas 15 bold").pack()
Label(root, text="Enter country name:").pack()
data = StringVar()
data.set("Seperate country names using comma or space(not both)")
entry = Entry(root, textvariable=data, width=50).pack()
Button(root, text="Get Data", command=showdata).pack()
root.mainloop()
Output
In above bar chart you can see current covid cases around different countries like India ,United state & Japan.
