Benjamin Walter Keller

Benjamin Walter Keller is currently a PhD candidate at McMaster University and gained his BSc in physics with a minor in computer science from the University of Calgary in 2011. His current research involves numerical modeling of galaxy evolution over cosmological timescales. As an undergraduate at the U of C, he worked on stacking radio polarization to examine faint extragalactic sources. He also worked in the POSSUM Working Group 2 to determine the requirements for stacking applications for the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope. He is particularly interested in questions involving stellar feedback (supernovae, stellar winds, and so on) and its impact on galaxies and their surrounding intergalactic medium.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Heavy Customization, covers customizing Pylab and also learn about working on non-trivial layouts and the different Matplotlib configuration files.

Chapter 2, Drawing on Plots, explains how to put lines in place and add text to your plots. We will also learn about playing with polygons, shapes, and versatile annotating.

Chapter 3, Special Purpose Plots, covers non-Cartesian plots and plotting vector fields. We will also learn about statistics with boxes and violins, and also visualize ordinal and tabular data.

Chapter 4, 3D and Geospatial, explores plotting with 3D axes, looking at the various 3D plot types and the Basemap methods. We will also learn about plotting on map projections and adding geography.

Chapter 5, Interactive Plotting, looks at interactive plots in Jupyter Notebook and event handling with plot callbacks. We will also learn about GUI neutral widgets and how to make movies.
