Scientific Visualization with GR
Josef Heinen – Scientific Visualization with GR Python developers often get frustrated when managing visualization packages that cover the specific needs in scientific or engineering environments. The GR framework could help. GR is a library for visualization applications ranging from publication-quality 2D graphs to the creation of complex 3D scenes and can easily be integrated into existing Python environments or distributions like Anaconda. —– Python has long been established in software development departments of research and industry, not least because of the proliferation of libraries such as *SciPy* and *Matplotlib*. However, when processing large amounts of data, in particular in combination with GUI toolkits (*Qt*) or three-dimensional visualizations (*OpenGL*), it seems that Python as an interpretative programming language may be reaching its limits. — *Outline* – Introduction (1 min) – motivation – GR framework (2 mins) – layer structure – output devices and capabilities – GR3 framework (1 min) – layer structure – output capabilities (3 mins) – high-resolution images – POV-Ray scenes – OpenGL drawables – HTML5 / WebGL – Simple 2D / 3D examples (2 min) – Interoperability (PyQt/PySide, 3 min) – How to speed up Python scripts (4 mins) – Numpy – Numba – Animated visualization examples (live demos, 6 mins) – physics simulations – surfaces / meshes – molecule viewer – MRI voxel data – Outlook (1 min)
