ACT Example Gallery#

This gallery houses examples on different use cases for act including downloading data from web APIs, visualization various types of data, and more. If there are specific use cases you would like to see examples of, please head on over to the ACT discussion page on GitHub.

If your looking to contribute, the templates directory found here provides templates for the examples gallery python files. For a template for creating Jupyter notebooks for ACT tutorials, blog posts and more, that template can be found here
