Overview Data scientists frequently deal with extensive data structures that span multiple dimensions. These structures, termed n-dimensional (N-D) arrays, emerge from sophisticated, domain-specific algorithms. Kitware is working on a new framework, Pan3D, that leverages open source tools Trame and PyVista, aimed at simplifying a data scientist’s workflow when analyzing such data. This article delves into […]
