Python Tool Challenge

With the release of Alteryx Designer 2018.2, the Python SDK has finally shed its Beta flag!

 

Now it's time to celebrate!

---

To enter the contest:

1. Create a Python tool (like Nick did) and package it as a YXI file.
2. Reply to this thread with a description of your tool. Don't forget to link to or attach your YXI.
3. Get stars! Threaten, bribe, or maybe just tweet. Whoever gets the most stars by July 31st wins!

You'll have to make a decision: keep working on your tool closer to the deadline to make it as perfect as possible, or submit it early so you have time to socialize your post to get as many stars as possible?

Here you go.

@OperaNole  Here's what it looks like for me when I run your workflow, yours looks different?:

[OperaNole]

It runs great, but the images are low-res.    If I size them at all they look like **bleep**.

I was wondering if there was a way to set the resolution on the image output....

[NeilR]

@OperaNole  Perhaps your resolution in the Render tool is misconfigured? Try changing to 1x...

My first attempt at making a Python tool:

Window Calculations!

It takes in 2 main inputs, Window Type (Rolling or Expanding) and Window Calculation (Min, Max, Sum, Avg, St. Dev). I had been creating macros for these tasks in the past, so I thought a nice flexible tool would speed things up a bit.

If anyone has any suggestions for different calculations or other window parameters, I would love to hear what you think.
