logo

This package is not unit-tested and not intended for distribution with the PySAL-meta package.

Description

• Create the PySAL logo with TeX/TikZ, then create favicons at specified resolutions with ImageTricks. The original logo design was based on Figure 1 from Rey and Anselin (2007). Examples are given within create_logo() and create_favicon(). Further examples can be found in PySAL_logo_creation.ipynb.
