Revamp visualization #171

Visualization needs to be revamped

msparapa commented 5 years ago

Since I finished up #168 and we can build families of solutions, this is a good opportunity for us to look at some fancy 2d/3d visualization tools, like surfaces and vector fields, instead of just what we did in the past with codegen'ing strings into line plots.

Should we just remove this? Given the amount of data we output now, I don't think a visualization module belongs in beluga anymore.

I think that is more reason to have pre-built tools for looking and presenting the data. I think visualization belongs to quality-of-life improvements that can be grouped in an utilities module. I think it goes hand-in-hand with other utilities like having scripts to export files to MATLAB, CSV, etc. I don't care much about adding simple plotting like before (though I'll probably do that first). What my real goal is a data view where you can see the different trajectories easily. It's on the back-burner, but I still intend to work on this.
