This caught my attention. I spent some of the spring semester writing custom R code to create histograms (actually ended up with probability distro curves, but histos were created along the way) from the raw per-cell data from some fluid dynamics experiments. For example, plotting the volumetric distribution of the kinetic energy dissipation rate throughout the reactor, rather than relying on an average value.
Actually, I insist on the python option. The reason is that the code is meant to be used by physicists, and physicists do not use R in general (python, c++ and Fortran are the mostly spread programming languages).
edit: Forgot to ask my actual question. Do you know wow utopian deals with multiple people implementing answers to task requests?
I have no idea. I suppose all will be rewarded if they are nicely done. On my side, everything that works well will be advertised on the MadAnalysis 5 website. The best module may even be merged with the main branch of madanalysis 5, provided the author agrees.
No worries on the Python requirement, happy to code in that environment.
Cool! :)
