Get the most out of your data: Interactive Visualisation with Python and Plotly — •Christian Faber — Forschungszentrum Jülich, Jülich, Germany

Scientists have always been the experts for data. Analysing and drawing conclusions from them is our daily business, and the amount of data that scientists are confronted with is growing rapidly as time passes and computing resources increase. The challenge is to quickly deal with individual data structures for which there is usually no off-the-shelf solution. In this talk, I will tell you how you can create visualisations tailored to your data. I will show, how you can access your data interactively and thus gain maximum insight from it. The graphics are created using Python and the pyplot and dash libraries to achieve maximum customisability. The entire process is demonstrated using a sequence mutation example from biophysics, but the methods can be applied to any field involving large amounts of data.
