Tutorial: vidigi

vidigi helps you visualize the output of discrete event simulations, especially those built with the Simpy library. It takes a detailed Event Log (tracking entities like patients through stages) and transforms it into an animated scatter plot using Plotly. This allows users to visually validate model logic and understand system dynamics like queues and resource usage over time. Key components handle preparing data into snapshots, generating the animation, configuring the visual layout, and enhancing Simpy resources for better tracking.
