Plotting

Time-resolved diffraction measurements can benefit from careful plotting, especially for time-series of data. This tutorial will go over some of the functions that make this easier in skued.

Time-order

Time-resolved data possesses obvious ordering, and as such we can use colors to enhance visualization of such data.

My favourite way to plot time-series data is to make use of rainbow colors to indicate time:

This functionality can be accessed through the spectrum_colors() generator:

from skued import spectrum_colors

colors = spectrum_colors(5)

# Colors always go from purple to red (increasing wavelength)
purple = next(colors)
red = list(colors)[-1]

You can see some examples of uses of spectrum_colors() in the baseline tutorial.
