Hello!
I have been using python for my data analysis and processing needs as an experimental physicist for an year now. I have used MATLAB and originpro before and python provides me everything I need.
But I am not satisfacted with my worflow specifically for plotting needs. I often find myself looking for old plots (images) that I did and having to rewrite code to do them over again, which is counterproductive.
I am currently using a combo of sublime text 3 (plus Anaconda plugins) and Spyder IDE for data visualization and running code on its Ipython interpreter (I like the variable explorer and the Ipython interpreter is much superior to SublimeREPL) . It works great for data processing and general coding but saving plots and processed data in a tidy way has been a hassle. If I could save all my workspace like in MATLAB it would be much better (Spyder's implementation of this is limited).
Originpro in contrast automatically saves all the data and plots in the same project which is a great workflow for plotting and saving your work. I must say that even having a decent background with python I find myself more productive for plotting and light data processing on originpro.
I am aware that there are alternatives such as Jupyter and Pycharm. Maybe I should give Jupyter notebook another shot.
I wanted to have some insight from you guys. What is your workflow for data analysis/plotting with python? Do you have a hard time going back and editting plots and datasets? How do you save your work?
