Bonneau lab group meeting will take place on
Monday, November 1, 2021
10:00am
Virtual
Presenter:
Aaron Watters, Ph.D.,
Senior Software Engineer,
Scientific Computing Core
Of Gizmos and Widgets and Other Scientific Visualization Tools
This talk discusses how different types of interactive visualization methods are
useful at different stages of scientific research endeavors. We examine different
research needs during project formulation, project justification, project execution, and final publication. We examine the use of tools for making illustrations, cartoons, interactive explorers, bespoke data acquisition interfaces, and publication-quality deliverables at these different stages. We examine many tools and examples with special emphasis on tools I've built for projects at the Flatiron Institute and mostly limit the discussion to open source free software tools.
Focussing on methods for building special visualizations for a project we look
at some technical detail at the user of Jupyter widgets, special web interfaces,
and Streamlit dashboards. We also introduce HTML5 Gizmos -- a new technology I've developed recently which offers some advantages over the other methods.
The talk is intended to be very informal and amenable to open discussion.
