JOSS: visualizations

[samridh-dev]

I have been doing a few attempts to creating visualizations for the 3D Voronoi Geometries produced by the program, and I have so far created two objects:

• A single convex hull produced by random points lying on the surface of a sphere
• A Tesellation of 1e5 randomly generated points
  The images produced are below:
  
  
  Let me know what I can do to make these visuals better.
  By the way the visuals produced uses pyvista, in which I will expect it to be cited as well.

This looks great. Would it be possible to put them side-by-side (cube left, single hull right; ~70%/30% width respectively) as a zoom-in (some similar to here) on a single cell near the surface of the cube?

Some minor suggestions for finalization, primarily if creating said zoom-in plot:

• cube plot:
  • reduce seed points to a lower number (maybe between 1e3-1e4?) so that individual cells remain visible at reduced image width in README/paper.
  • in the plot description briefly mention the "removal" of cells (and how this is done) near the viewer-facing three cube faces.
• convex hull: make hull color consistent to color in cube

Providing a link to the render script in the plot description within the README.md sounds would be great.

What do you think?

Hi @cbyrohl. Sorry for the delay. I managed to move the visualization scripts to a separate repository: https://github.com/samridh-dev/votess-visualization.git. As for the zoom in, I was able to create it but I think it would be too difficult for me to do a zoom in for a single cell (I could work on multiple though).

This is what the zoom in looks like now. I might consider adjusting where the two boxes should be...

Hi Samridh, looks great. Let's stick with this plot. Three polishing remarks: 1.) Enlargen the zoom-in and move it towards the lower left corner of the plot (there's plenty of white space). 2.) Move the coordinate axes to another quadrant to make space for the zoom inset. 3.) Fix the zoom lines. There are two lines missing at the bottom and a thick line appears in the zoom-in that should not be there.
