GUI Driven Text Compression

This project is a GUI-driven application for text compression, developed using both Java and Python. The primary focus of the project is to demonstrate the concepts of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).

Project Structure

The project consists of the following files:

• Java Source Files:

  • compression.java - Handles the text compression logic.
  • CompressionRatio.java - Calculates the compression ratio.
  • FileChooserExample.java - Provides a GUI for file selection.
  • Huffman.java - Implements Huffman coding for compression.
  • Leaf.java - Represents a leaf node in the Huffman tree.
  • LZ77.java - Implements the LZ77 compression algorithm.
  • LZW.java - Implements the LZW compression algorithm.
  • Main.java - The main entry point of the application.
  • Node.java - Represents a node in the Huffman tree.
  • python.java - Integrates Python scripts with Java.
  • Triple.java - Utility class for the LZW algorithm.

• Python Source Files:

  • Huffman_tree_visualisation.py - Visualizes the Huffman tree.

• Configuration Files:

  • Requirments.txt - Lists the dependencies for the Python scripts.

Features

• Huffman Coding: Efficient text compression using variable-length codes.
• LZ77 Algorithm: Sliding window compression technique.
• LZW Algorithm: Dictionary-based compression method.
• GUI Interface: User-friendly interface for file selection and compression operations.
• Visualization: Graphical representation of Huffman trees for better understanding.

Requirements

To run the Python scripts, ensure you have the required dependencies listed in Requirments.txt. You can install them using:

pip install -r Requirments.txt
