GUI for CTD cast editing #93
Description
I usually not a big fan of the GUI, but it would be pretty handy for editing CTD casts.
One could imagine some buttons for applying the different filters (w/ different parameters) to see in realtime what impact it had on each profile before moving on to the next.
Using "Panel" with hvplot of course. :-)

I might have a crack at this... I tend to develop my python GUIs using wxPython, would it be okay to add this as a dependancy? Its got a fantastic GUI builder and is great for making cross-platform apps

We have two options here. Make the GUI part of the ctd module or build a new package that uses ctd. I usually prefer the latter b/c then the development and releases are not tied to each each other. Also, you can even make a modular GUI that can un se other similar modules.
PS: I'm a big fan of wxPython but the world is moving to web based stuff, like Panel and similar projects. Maybe it is worth considering building the GUI using those.

Thanks @ocefpaf, thats fair enough. I will tinker away then and let you all know if I come up with anything useful. I didn't know about Panel, so thanks for the headsup, it was interesting to read about. For now i think i will stick with wx as I am much more familiar with it, but I will try and develop in a way that is frontend agnostic.

Awesome. Keep us posted. I'd love to put a link in our README when that is done. Many folks want a GUI and, to be honest, I never created one b/c I no longer work with CTDs. If I did I would also want one to exist :-)
