Call for Contributions: visuals (images, figures, plots, charts, etc.)

[maxim-belkin]

Submitting on behalf of maintainers of the Python Novice Inflammation lesson.

We'd like to solicit image contributions that can help learners better understand and remember the material presented in the lesson. Examples of possible contributions include visuals explaining the structure of for loops, if statements (indentation, keywords, ...), structure of NumPy arrays, and so on. If you took our lesson in the past and found it lacking visuals that could've helped you better understand and remember the material, now is the perfect time to contribute to the lesson either by letting us know about it (in this issue) or submitting a Pull Request.

If you'd like to work on or submit a figure (image, chart, etc), please start a new issue explaining how your visual will improve learners' understanding and (a rough draft of) an image, if you've got one.

If you'd don't have an image handy but know a place in the lesson where one is needed - please let us know about it below.

Sincerely,
- Anne Fouilloux (@annefou)

Good image description (also known as alternative text) is as important as the image itself. Therefore, we'd like to extend this Call with a Call for Contributions: image descriptions & titles (#781). If you'd like to improve the description of any of our images, please submit a pull request or leave a comment in #781.

I would like to contribute an overall diagram/flowchart to the main page of https://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-inflammation/, which gives a high-level idea of the lesson:

• There are patients with arthritis
• We take some measurements of them
• We process the measurements
• (Decisions are made based on the processed measurements)

This can be helpful for learners to connect the lesson to other data problems they may be working with.

If this is of interest, I will submit a new issue and create the image.

Hi, Veronika. I think it would be nice to have such a diagram. Please submit a pull request or open a new issue so that we can discuss it in detail there.
