look_direction

Repository for the real-time look direction values for LEXI

Description

This repository contains the code for the real-time look direction values for LEXI. The code is written in python3 and uses the tkinter library for the GUI and matplotlib for plotting the look direction values.

The code uses a lookup table to retrieve the look direction values for a given time. The lookup table is a csv file that contains the look direction values for a given time. The csv file is located in the look_direction/data directory.

The code reads the csv file and stores the look direction values in a pandas dataframe. The code then uses the pandas dataframe to retrieve the look direction values for a given time.

Once it is opened, it looks like this:
