What problem does it solve?

Visualizes large 3D particle datasets with high performance and clear aesthetics, enabling researchers to inspect structures and dynamics in simulation data.

Core Features & Use Cases

• 3D interactive renderings of particle data (dark matter, gas, stars) with adjustable markers, colors, and transparency.
• Performance-focused rendering for multi-million particle sets using WebGL-based plots and downsampling.
• Aesthetic and informative visuals with color maps, size scaling, and filtering to reveal clustering and features.
• Use Case: Explore a GADGET-4 snapshot by rotating the view, zooming, and highlighting particles by velocity or type.

Quick Start

Launch a basic interactive 3D viewer for a sample particle dataset using Plotly.
