ChatterBot
Machine learning, conversational dialog engine for creating chat bots
ChatterBot is a Python library that makes it easy to generate automated responses to a user’s input. ChatterBot uses a selection of machine learning algorithms to produce different types of responses. This makes it easy for developers to create chat bots and automate conversations with users. For more details about the ideas and concepts behind ChatterBot see the process flow diagram. The language independent design of ChatterBot allows it to be trained to speak any language. Additionally, the machine-learning nature of ChatterBot allows an agent instance to improve it’s own knowledge of possible responses as it interacts with humans and other sources of informative data. An untrained instance of ChatterBot starts off with no knowledge of how to communicate. Each time a user enters a statement, the library saves the text that they entered and the text that the statement was in response to. As ChatterBot receives more input the number of responses that it can reply increase. -

Delaunator
Fast JavaScript library for Delaunay triangulation of 2D points
Delaunator is a fast library for Delaunay triangulation. It takes as input a set of points. The triangulation is represented as compact arrays of integers. It’s less convenient than other representations but is the reason the library is fast. After constructing a delaunay = Delaunator.from(points) object, it will have a triangles array and a halfedges array, both indexed by half-edge id. What’s a half-edge? A triangle edge may be shared with another triangle. Instead of thinking about each edge A↔︎B, we will use two half-edges A→B and B→A. Having two half-edges is the key to everything this library provides. It will also be useful to have some helper functions to go from one half-edge to the next and previous half-edges in the same triangle. We can draw all the triangle edges without constructing the triangles themselves.

How To Get Started With Open Source Diagram Software
Getting started with open source diagram software can be a simple and straightforward process. The first step is to select the specific diagram software you would like to use and download it onto your computer or device. If necessary, read any installation instructions that come with the software, as some may need additional steps for full integration into your system.
Once the diagram software has been downloaded and installed, users should familiarize themselves with its features and user interface. Most open source diagrams will include help instructions built-in, so users should navigate through these to learn more about navigating menus, creating shapes, selecting colors or fonts and other features of the program.
The next step is to start using your open source diagram software. Begin by brainstorming ideas for possible diagrams you wish to create, then draw out rough draft sketches on paper before starting work on the actual design in theprogram itself. This will allow you better visualize what you are trying to achieve before taking any time constructing it in detail within the software itself. When ready, begin building your diagram in your chosen open source program - adding shapes where needed while setting up text boxes or labels accordingly. You can customize many aspects of each individual element; this includes things like font size/style, shape properties (width/height etc), color/texture selection etc. Furthermore feel free to experiment with some of the tools that exist within certain programs: for example pivot tables for data organization and manipulation, animation tools for motion graphics etc.
Having completed your design(s) consider exporting them from their original format into an image file (e.g png/jpeg), which can then be shared online or printed out if necessary. Finally remember that most programs offer online support forums (explore community sites such as StackOverflow) where further advice on topics relating to this type of program can always be sought out.
