This page serves as a gallery of some of my favorite figures, diagrams, charts, tables, and other visual aids and representations of data that I have generated using Python (using Matplotlib unless stated otherwise) or LaTeX (TikZ and MetaPost). The items are grouped by what projects of mine (Ph.D. work and DCHAIN work) they are most closely associated with, and they are loosely ordered, first featuring my very favorites for each project. For each item, brief descriptions and links to where greater context can be found are provided. (The publications page also contains relevant links.)
