To provide my thoughts as a past user of panoply:
- When I need to quickly examine a data file, e.g. model output without having to type the following (before hvplot was released):
import xarray as xr
ds = xr.open_dataset("path/to/file")["take time to figure out var name"].isel(remove_other_variables=0)
ds.plot(x="take_time_to_figure_out_x", y="take time to figure out y name")
And sometimes, I would just create a .py file / notebook in the data directory, which is a bit disorganized.
- A plot immediately shows, support for a variety of file formats,
- Interactively zoom-in/out and check for values at points
- I would
