piScope data analysis workbench

πScope

πScope is a python based workbench for data analysis and modeling. (S Shiraiwa, T Fredian, J Hillairet, J Stillerman, "πScope: Python based scientific workbench with MDSplus data visualization tool", Fusion Engineering and Design 112, 835 (2016) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fusengdes.2016.06.050)

Goal of piScope includes

• Data browsing (scope) application for MDSplus data system (www.mdsplus.org)
• Lego blocks for gluing up large simulation codes using python
• User frontend platform for Petra-M (MFEM based finite element simulation).

and for the above purposes, πScope is equipped with

• a data analysis environment (= python shell, editor, data structure browser, and matplotlib figure)
• various GUI componetns to work with matplotlib based figures which allows to
• save/load a figure as a figure file.
• edit artists using GUI palette for plot, contour, image, triplots and so on.
• change panel layout via an interactive layout editor
• cut/paste of plot, axes, or an entire page.
• export data from plot to python shell by one click
• interactively annotate figure using text, arrow, lines,,,
• draw 3D (OpenGL) in matplotlib canvas.

πScope is also used for Petra-M finiete element analysis platform built on MFEM.
