Abstract: RAGaVI is a python based tool that generates self-contained interactive plots of calibration solutions and visibilities. It has two aspects which perform these tasks, namely ragavi-gains and ragavi-vis respectively. ragavi-gains provides interactivity by displaying useful identification information for each data point in calibration solutions (such as scan number, antenna e.t.c.) in addition to other interactive actions. Interactivity is helpful to determine the origin of outliers or problematic solutions quickly. On the other hand, ragavi-vis not only provides some level of interactivity but also presents the capability of processing large volumes of data relatively fast, and with a reduced strain on RAM. In this paper, we present the general features it offers and its performance with increasing dataset sizes.
