IBEX — IMAS variaBles EXplorer

IBEX is a general purpose graphical tool for exploring the content of IMAS structured data (IDS). It displays quantities as 1D or 2D plots — including slicing through higher-dimensionality datasets — and lets you interactively inspect, compare, and manipulate signals from one or more data entries. IBEX is expected to replace IMASViz (which is no longer maintained) and go beyond it.

IBEX is under active development. Core exploration, plotting, and data manipulation workflows are functional, but important changes — including to the backend endpoint API — may still occur between releases. Expect fast iteration, and please report issues or gaps you encounter via GitHub Issues.

• Improve performance and reactivity
• UX friendliness
• Plots parametrization
• Use as a webapp (linked to SimDB-Dashboard)
