Welcome! Looking for a fast and flexible visualization software? Here we present psyplot, an open source python project that mainly combines the plotting utilities of matplotlib and the data management of the xarray package and integrates them into a software that can be used via command-line and via a GUI!
The main purpose is to have a framework that allows a fast, attractive, flexible, easily applicable, easily reproducible and especially an interactive visualization of your data.
The ultimate goal is to help scientists in their daily work by providing a
flexible visualization tool that can be enhanced by their own visualization
scripts. psyplot can be used via command line and with the
graphical user interface (GUI) from the
:ref:`psyplot-gui <psyplot_gui:psyplot-gui>` and
:ref:`psy-view <psy_view:psy-view>` module.
If you want more motivation: Have a look into the :ref:`about` section.

This package is being developed by Philipp S. Sommer at the Helmholtz Coastal Data Center (HCDC) of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.
I want to thank the matplotlib, xarray and cartopy developers for their great packages and of course the python developers for their fascinating work on this beautiful language.
A special thanks to Stefan Hagemann and Tobias Stacke from the Max-Planck-Institute of Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany for the motivation on this project and to the people of the Not yet visible agency for their advice in designing the logo and webpage.
Finally the author thanks the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) for their support. Funding for the author came from the ACACIA grant (CR10I2_146314) and the HORNET grant (200021_169598).
