Quickstart¶
Once installed, jdaviz
can be run either as a standalone web application or in a Jupyter notebook.
As a Web Application¶
jdaviz
provides a command-line tool to start the web application. To see the syntax and usage,
from a terminal, type:
jdaviz --help
The general syntax to start the application is to provide a local filename path and an application configuration to load, i.e.:
jdaviz /path/to/data/file --layout=<configuration>
For example, to load a SDSS MaNGA IFU data cube into CubeViz
, you would run the following from a terminal:
jdaviz /my/manga/cube/manga-8485-1901-LOGCUBE.fits.gz --layout=cubeviz
In a Juypter Notebook¶
jdaviz
provides a directory of sample notebooks to test the application, located in the notebooks
sub-directory
of the git repository. Example.ipynb
is provided as an example that loads a SDSS MaNGA IFU data cube with the
CubeViz
configuration. To run the provided example, start the jupyter kernel with the notebook path:
jupyter notebook /path/to/jdaviz/notebooks/Example.ipynb
or simply start a new Jupyter notebook and run the following in a cell:
from jdaviz import Application
app = Application()
app
To learn more about the various jdaviz
application configurations and loading data, see the Cubeviz,
Specviz, or Mosviz tools.
