System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Generate publication-ready color-magnitude diagram (CMD) visualizations and animations from very large stellar datasets, with caching to speed future runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static CMD plots using hexbin or datashader for large datasets with log-scaled density.
  • Animated visualization cycling through stellar populations with annotations.
  • Caching and local/parquet data source support to accelerate repeat analyses.
  • Use cases include astronomers analyzing Gaia-like catalogs, producing figures for papers and outreach.

Quick Start

Run the shboost_plot_cached.py script to generate the CMD PNG and the population GIF using the default sample.
