Build Tensorflow from source, for better performance on Ubuntu.

Building Tensorflow from source on Ubuntu 16.04LTS for maximum performance:

TensorFlow is now distributed under an Apache v2 open source license on GitHub.

On Ubuntu 16.04LTS+:

Step 1. Install NVIDIA CUDA:

To use TensorFlow with NVIDIA GPUs, the first step is to install the CUDA Toolkit as shown:

An svgpathtools example: computing many points quickly with and numpy arrays
"""The goal of this gist is to show how to compute many points on a path
quickly using NumPy arrays. I.e. there's a much faster way than using, say
[some_path.point(t) for t in many_tvals]. The example below assumes the
`Path` object is composed entirely of `CubicBezier` objects, but this can
easily be generalized to paths containing `Line` and `QuadraticBezier` objects
also.
Note: The relevant matrix transformation for quadratics can be found in the
svgpathtools.bezier module."""

Converts a color image to a matrix and 3-tensor and stores them as CSV files (by default scales image to thumbnail-size).
"""
Description:
Takes in a color image and creates a two CSV files storing downsized
matrix (grayscale) and 3-tensor representations of the image.
Instructions:
Put your image in the same folder as this file (tool4c.py),
then open a terminal in that folder and enter:
python tool4c <your_image>
