Abstract (Swedish)
This thesis work was carried out for Höganäs AB, the world leading metal powder manufacturer.
The goal was to create a program that automatically compiled logged data from their heat treat
ing ovens and present it graphically, based on input in the form of time intervals. The program
should also be able to compare outcomes during different time intervals and outcomes in different
assignments.
Due to one of the limitations was that the program was to be written in an open source coding
language, Python was chosen due to it being a very readable language, and thus easy to continue
the work for another user.
For importing data from a .txt or .csv file the Python packages pandas was chosen, for presenting

For importing data from a .txt or .csv file the Python packages pandas was chosen, for presenting
data graphically the package matplotlib was chosen, and finally to create the GUI the built in
package tkinter was used.
This thesis work resulted in a program that fulfilled all the requirements that the client re
quested. A lot of emphasise was put into making the program easy to use, and the code being
readable so that changes could easily be made in the future. (Less)
