From humble beginnings as a glue element forour legacy software, it has become a cornerstone of our scientificsoftware for HST and the next large space telescope, the James WebbSpace Telescope, as well as many other astronomy projects. The talkwill also cover some of the history of essential elements forscientific Python and where future work is needed, and why Python isso well suited for scientific software.</p><h2 id="sec-4">Invited Talk 1 </h2><p>John Hunter</p><h3 id="sec-4_1">Title </h3><p>matplotlib: Beyond the simple plot</p><h3 id="sec-4_2">Talk/Paper Abstract: </h3><p>matplotlib, a python package for making sophisticated publicationquality 2D graphics, and some 3D, has long supported a wide varietyof basic plotting types such line graphs, bar charts, images,spectral plots, and more. In this talk, we will look at some of thenew features and performance enhancements in matplotlib as well assome of the comparatively undiscovered features such as interactingwith your data and graphics, and animating plot elements with thenew animations API. We will explore the performance with largedatasets utilizing the new path simplification algorithm, anddiscuss areas where performance improvements are still needed.Finally, we will demonstrate the new HTML5 backend, which incombination with the new HTML5 IPython front-end under development,will enable an interactive Python shell with interactive graphics ina web browser.</p>{% endblock content %}
