SmithChart.jl

Features

• Interactive Smith Charts: Built on Makie.jl, SmithChart.jl allows for visualization and exploration of impedance and reflection data.
• SmithAxis Block: Provides a dedicated SmithAxis block, similar to Axis or PolarAxis, for drawing the Smith chart grid.
• smithplot! and smithscatter! Functions: These functions are used to plot data on the Smith chart and have the same attributes as Makie’s lines! and scatter! respectively. They also include a convenient reflection keyword, allowing you to plot reflection data directly without manual conversion. Both functions feature a customised DataInspector (see examples below).
• vswr! Function: plot constant VSWR circles on the Smith chart using vswr!.
• Normalized Data: Currently, the package assumes that impedance or admittance values are already normalized.
• Interactive Data Markers: Add and remove data markers with a double-click directly on the plots using the datamarkers function.
• Customizable Grid: Offers extensive customization options for the Smith chart grid, including: Tick positions for constant resistance and reactance circles. Color and linestyle control for the grid lines. Line cutting at intersections to prevent visual clutter.
• Dynamic Text Annotations: An optional feature allows tick annotations to move dynamically while zooming to keep them visible. This functionality is still under development and may need further refinement.
