A simple Python package to make nice plots of deprojected interferometric visibilities, often called uvplots (see an example below).

uvplot also makes it easy to export visibilities from MeasurementSets to uvtables, a handy format for fitting the data (e.g., using Galario).

uvplot can be used as a standalone Python package (available on PyPI) and also inside NRAO CASA 6.x. It can be installed in a Python environment and in a CASA terminal with:

pip install uvplot

An example uvplot made with this simple code:
