🎂Yearly Heatmap Generator

reddit

Hi I’m Shigeඞ! This add-on was developed as a special thanks for the support from my patrons ($5/month) so it is not yet available for free. If you want it for free, download this empty add-on (1749233110) and please wait, when it becomes free I will notify you and you can install it.

Patreon: 🎂Yearly Heatmap Generator - Anki add-on download page for patrons only

alt text

Generate all heatmaps as an image (default: 800px PNG). Colors and designs can be customized as options. You can use it when you want to share yearly learning progress or when you want to share Streeck achievements.

  • Notes: This add-on is only for generating the heatmap image so does not have a feature to display the heatmap on Anki’s Home screen. The Anki icons are used only to refer to the official Anki (Anki License), so this add-on is not related to the official Anki.

How to use

You can generate and preview images from the Tools add-on menu.

  • AnkiMenu -> Tools -> Yearly Heatmap Generator -> Show Heatmap Image

    • alt text
    • These icons are used only for the purpose of referring to Anki (except Anki-tan★) and this add-on is not related to the official Anki. (URL: Official Anki, AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid)

Date tab

The options on this tab are for date calculations.

alt text

  • Max Heatmapo (display)

    • Maximum number of heatmaps to display. e.g.
    • alt text
    • auto_mode: Show all heatmaps. (default)
    • This option only hides the heatmap, so reviews for hidden heatmaps are still calculated and included in the total score calculation.

  • Paint Start Year (display)

    • Specify the year to start displaying the heatmap.
    • This option only hides the heatmap so hidden heatmaps are still calculated.

  • Next day Start at

    • Change the time the day begins. This auto fetches Anki settings so basically you don’t need to change it.

  • Enable Limit Start Date (calculate)

    • Specify the date to start calculating heatmaps and scores. Data prior to this date will not be fully calculated.

Size tab

alt text

  • Save image format

    • Change the format of the image to be saved.
    1. Png (default) : A common image format. It has large file sizes but high quality.
    2. Jpg : A common image format. It has smaller file sizes but is prone to quality degradation.
    3. Webp : A relatively new image format. It’s very lightweight with high quality, but sometimes it may not be supported by apps or websites. Cannot be saved to the clipboard.

  • Image Width (px)

    • Specify the image width in pixels.
    • The default is 800px.
    • Occasionally there may be slight variations in the value.

  • Image Aspect

    • Change the image aspect ratio. e.g.
    • alt text
    1. auto_mode
      • Auto mode combines all heatmaps into a single image.
      • A single heatmap results in a shorter image.
      • If there are many heatmaps, the image will become very long.
    • Other
      • Other sizes will fix the image aspect ratio.
      • If there are too many heatmaps to fit into a single image, a second or third image will be generated.
      1. square_1_1
      2. portrait_4_5
      3. vertical_9_16
      4. wide_1_91_1
      5. landscape_16_9
      6. portrait_2_3

Credit

  • The code for this add-on was newly written to optimize image generation and to study Anki’s database mechanisms, so there are almost no direct code references. But inspired by Thore Tyborski’s Anki Leaderboard and Glutanimate’s Review heatmap.
  • The icons used are the official Anki icons. (Anki License) (Me and my add-on are not related to the official Anki.)
  • The background images use images licensed under the Unsplash License.
  • Anki-tan is an unofficial mascot character I drew (CC4, not related to the official Anki).

Notes

  • This add-on is only for generating the heatmap image so does not have a feature to display the heatmap on Anki’s Home screen.
  • Only year display is supported, month display is not supported.
  • Since it is an image, there is no tooltip function to display the review scores from the heatmap.
