Python Time Complexity Graph Generator

A CLI tool that generates visual graphs of common algorithmic time complexities using matplotlib. Outputs publication-ready SVG files in both dark and light themes.

Graphs Generated

Graph	Complexities Shown
Polynomial	O(1), O(log n), O(n), O(n log n), O(n²)
Exponential	O(2ⁿ), O(n!)
Full	All of the above combined

Each graph is saved as an SVG in both dark and light variants, for a total of six output files.

Examples

Polynomial Time Complexity (Dark)

Full Time Complexity (Dark)

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• matplotlib

Install dependencies:

pip install matplotlib

Usage

Run the script from the src/ directory:

cd src
python time_complexity_graph.py

You will be prompted to enter a graph resolution (max 100). Higher values produce smoother curves. The script then generates and saves all six SVG files in the current directory.

Input Graph Resolution: 50

Output Files
