(B)rowser (O)f (A)rbitrary Data - a Python GUI browser of data.

Project description

(B)rowser (O)f (A)rbitrary Data - a Python browser of data. The goal is to create a simple tool for scientists / data miners to browse and plot various data sources in one simple environment.

It’s a library, as well as a set of tools.

Most focus is placed on table-like pandas-based objects.

Concepts

  • uri - boadata tries to support odo URIs

  • data object - wrapper around basic data types (a.k.a odo.resource but with wrapper)

  • data tree - browseable that can contain nodes (some of the nodes can be data objects)

  • data conversion - between different object types

  • view - visual representation of a data objects

Executables

Run command –help to see full list of options

  • boadescribe <uri> - show basic info about a data object (in command-line)

  • boatree <uri> - list nodes in a data tree

  • boaplot <uri> <colx> <coly> - scatter plot of two columns (colx,y can be expressions like x**2, sqrt(y+2*exp(-x)) etc.)

  • boahist <uri> <col> - histogram of a column

  • boadata [<uri>] - full gui with a tree

  • boatable <uri> - show tabular representation of a dataobject (GUI)

  • boacat <uri> - print tabular representation of a dataobject (command-line)

  • boaconvert <from+> <to> - convert one data source into another

  • boaview <uri> - show a tabbed window with all available views for the dataobject

Status

  • in (slow) development
