License should be the same as BOUT-dev?

9

Presumably we should change the licence on this repo (from Apache) to the same GNU one that BOUT-dev has?

Integrated tests against real data

2

Currently the unit tests create fake BOUT data and check that xBOUT reads them as expected. There should also be integrated tests which read some examples of real BOUT data....

Concatenate using global indexes

2

If BOUT is changed upstream to write out the global grid point indexes to each file, then xBOUT can use them to infer the order in which the datasets should...

See the description at https://github.com/boutproject/SD1D/issues/3

Animate everything

1

The animated 2D plots are useful, and it would be nice to also have these for other types of plots (line, histogram). These could also use [animatplot](https://github.com/t-makaro/animatplot) behind the scenes.

Helpful errors if BOUT crashed while saving output

1

Sometimes BOUT crashes whilst writing out the dump netcdf files. If this happens it can cause opaque errors, but we should be able to catch at least some of those...

Real space coordinates

2

Once BOUT writes out the real space coordinates to the dump files, then xBOUT can read them. Then xBOUT can return a dataset with `coords` representing real space coordinates, and...

Examples as Jupyter notebooks?

1

Should the examples be saved as python scripts or as Jupyter notebooks?

There are many types of analysis functions which BOUT users might want to apply to their data, but which are fairly specific to plasma physics. Examples could include: - [...

**Can we make dask an optional dependency of rechunker?** IIUC conceptually rechunker doesn't explicitly require dask - rechunking plans can be executed with a variety of executors. This has been...
