Here's my work in progress node-and-wire system. It's specifically targeting signal processing related work. Here, data is all passed between nodes as 1D arrays, so the plots just have the x-axis hardcoded for now. I'm not sure if a pair of x/y array's should be passed together on a single wire, or if they should be passed separately for the most flexibility.

For some reason this made me think of twisted-pair wiring.

@John Christensen (JohnnyC1423), you and @alltom should talk. See http://alltom.com/pages/ppl-lab-notebook

@Ivan Reese Twisted pair wires sounds like a nice visual metaphor! And a fun svg rendering puzzle to figure out

I really like the aesthetics you’ve picked for the interface. Everything has a tasteful, low-key, LaTeX-adjacent vibe. I don’t think I’ve seen that done! (I guess PANE is sorta in that direction? But not in the same way.)

@Joshua Horowitz thanks! I'm trying to go for an interface somewhere between a physicist's white board, and an immaculate TikZ figure. I appreciate the comparison to PANE, I hadn't come across it yet. I'm always interested in finding better ways to make data visible by default, and PANE has some really cool ideas to draw from!
