Matplotlib: Writing right-to-left text (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.)

For Arabic you need both bidi.algorithm.get_display and arabic_reshaper modules: from bidi.algorithm import get_display import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import arabic_reshaper reshaped_text = arabic_reshaper.reshape(u’لغةٌ عربيّة’) artext = get_display(reshaped_text) plt.text(0.25, 0.45, artext , name=”Times New Roman”,fontsize=50) plt.show()

Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right printed nicely

Put a Right-to-Left Embedding character, u’\u202B’, at the beginning of each Hebrew word, and a Pop Directional Formatting character, u’\u202C’, at the end of each word. This will set the Hebrew words apart as RTL sections in an otherwise LTR document. (Note that while this will produce the correct output, you’re also dependent on the … Read more

Twitter Bootstrap Carousel cycle items right to left ( RTL ) reversed

Just override the cycle function with a similar function that calls prev instead of next: $(document).ready(function () { $(‘.carousel’).each(function(){ $(this).carousel(); var carousel = $(this).data(‘bs.carousel’); // or .data(‘carousel’) in bootstrap 2 carousel.pause(); // At first, reverse the order of the items in the carousel because we’re moving backwards $(this).find(‘> .carousel-inner > .item:not(:first-child)’).each(function() { $(this).prependTo(this.parentNode); }); // … Read more

use text-align smartly (if english dir=ltr if arabic dir=rtl)

You’ll need to create a function that has all the letters you know are RTL and check when loading. To display RTL you need the CSS attributes, direction, text-align, and unicode-bidi. Demo: Script function checkRtl( character ) { var RTL = [‘ا’,’ب’,’پ’,’ت’,’س’,’ج’,’چ’,’ح’,’خ’,’د’,’ذ’,’ر’,’ز’,’ژ’,’س’,’ش’,’ص’,’ض’,’ط’,’ظ’,’ع’,’غ’,’ف’,’ق’,’ک’,’گ’,’ل’,’م’,’ن’,’و’,’ه’,’ی’]; return RTL.indexOf( character ) > -1; }; var divs = document.getElementsByTagName( ‘div’ ); … Read more

android determine if device is in right to left language/layout

You could create a values-ldrtl folder with a xml file called isrighttoleft.xml: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <resources> <bool name=”is_right_to_left”>true</bool> </resources> and in your values folder the same file with: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <resources> <bool name=”is_right_to_left”>false</bool> </resources> And finally in Code: boolean isRightToLeft = getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.is_right_to_left); The values-ldrtl will only be used on a device where the specific … Read more

Why does this code, written backwards, print “Hello World!”

There are invisible characters here that alter how the code is displayed. In Intellij these can be found by copy-pasting the code into an empty string (“”), which replaces them with Unicode escapes, removing their effects and revealing the order the compiler sees. Here is the output of that copy-paste: “class M\u202E{public static void main(String[]a\u202D){System.out.print(new … Read more
