##Requirements
- python
- python-xlrd for reading excel spreadsheets
- graphviz for rendering graphs
##Usage
###Generating dot files and PNGs
Individual xls spreadsheet:
$ ./quipu2dot.py UR001.xls
$ dot UR001.xls.dot -Tpng > UR001.png
Batch mode, does convertion and runs dot (assumes location is data/xls):
$ ./quipu2dot.py batch
###Measuring entropy command line
Single quipu:
$ ./quipu2entropy.py UR001.xls
A test string:
$ ./quipu2entropy.py test AAABBB
Batch mode, as above assumes location is data/xls - prints sorted list:
$ ./quipu2entropy.py batch
