โ€” "The hardest part of data analysis should be annotating the plots!"

Build Status

๐ŸŽ‰ Now supporting plot builder files

Supports separate .jl files to build plots from user-provided data.

  • Specify titles, labels, linestyles, etc. for entire PlotCollection (multi-plot object) in a separate file.
  • Makes for more readable code.

See EasyPlot.load_plotbuilders() function (TODO: add to docs, currently only in parametric_sin.md sample).

Description

CMDimData.jl provides a high-level abstraction to manipulate multi-dimensional data, and automatically interpolate intermediate values as if it was a continuous function.

The goal is to provide analysis tools that lead to minimal code, written in a natural, and readable fashion.

Features/Highlights

  1. Seamlessly handle multi-dimensional datasets with MDDatasets.jl
    • Perform the same operation on all elements (usually) without having to write explicit loops.
    • Results of data reductions (ex: minimum(), integrations, ...) are handled the same as any other data.
  2. Easily plot multi-dimensional results with EasyPlot module.
    • Quickly organize and plot the results in a way that sheds light on the studied phenomenon.
    • Support for multiple backends
    • Generate eye diagrams (even for backends without native support).
  3. Read/write plots to HDF5 files with EasyData module.

Installation

CMDimData.jl is registered with Julia's General registry. It can be installed using Julia's built-in package manager:

julia> ]
pkg> add CMDimData
pkg> add MDDatasets

Note that MDDatasets.jl will automatically be installed alongside CMDimData.jl. However, add-ing it explicitly gives code from the active project/environment direct access to its features.

Moreover, it is highly suggested to install InspectDR.jl. It is the most tested integration for plotting at the moment:

julia> ]
pkg> add InspectDR

Sample usage

Examples of how to use CMDimData are provided in the sample/ subdirectory.

A few examples are organized by function:

More elaborate examples of constructing EasyPlot.Plot/PlotCollection objects can be found in the sample/plots/ folder.

Compatibility

Extensive compatibility testing of CMDimData.jl has not been performed. The module has been tested using the following environment(s):

  • Linux / Julia-1.3.1

Disclaimer

The CMDimData.jl module is not yet mature. Expect significant changes.
