cooltools - Practical Tools for Scientific Computation and Visualisation
Provides utilities for scientific computation and
visualisation, with an emphasis on applications in physics and
astrophysics. Functionality includes random sampling from
spherical and custom distributions, information and entropy
analysis, Fourier transforms, two-point correlation estimation,
binning and gridding of point sets, two-dimensional
interpolation, Monte Carlo integration, vector operations,
coordinate transformations, physical constants, and
cosmological conversions. Graphics tools support the creation
and export of publication-quality plots, animations, colour
scales, map projections, and bitmap images. Several of these
tools were used by Obreschkow et al. (2020)
