# Welcome to Quarto

### Quarto^[®]{.trademark}^ is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org)

- Create dynamic content with [Python](docs/computations/python.qmd), [R](docs/computations/r.qmd), [Julia](docs/computations/julia.qmd), and [Observable](docs/computations/ojs.qmd). 
- Author documents as plain text markdown or [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) notebooks.
- Publish high-quality articles, reports, presentations, websites, blogs, and books in HTML, PDF, MS Word, ePub, and more.
- Author with scientific markdown, including equations, citations, crossrefs, figure panels, callouts, advanced layout, and more.

Weave together narrative text and code to produce elegantly formatted output. Quarto documents are fully reproducible. Use markdown with code cells executed via Jupyter (shown below) or render existing Jupyter notebooks.

For a demonstration of a line plot on a polar axis, see @fig-polar.

```{{python}}
#| label: fig-polar
#| fig-cap: "A line plot on a polar axis"

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r
fig, ax = plt.subplots(
  subplot_kw = {'projection': 'polar'} 
)
ax.plot(theta, r)
ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])
ax.grid(True)
plt.show()
```

Quarto is a multi-language, next generation version of R Markdown from RStudio, with many new new features and capabilities. Like R Markdown, Quarto uses [Knitr](https://yihui.org/knitr/) to execute R code, and is therefore able to render most existing Rmd files without modification.

## Air Quality

@fig-airquality further explores the impact of temperature on ozone level.

```{{r}}
#| label: fig-airquality
#| fig-cap: Temperature and ozone level.
#| warning: false

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(airquality, aes(Temp, Ozone)) + 
  geom_point() + 
  geom_smooth(method = "loess"

Combine markdown and Julia code to create dynamic documents that are fully reproducible. Quarto executes Julia code via the [IJulia](https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl) Jupyter kernel, enabling you to author in plain text (as shown below) or render existing Jupyter notebooks.

## Parametric Plots

Plot function pair (x(u), y(u)). 
See @fig-parametric for an example.

```{{julia}}
#| label: fig-parametric
#| fig-cap: "Parametric Plots"

using Plots

plot(sin, 
     x->sin(2x), 
     0, 
     2π, 
     leg=false, 
     fill=(0,:lavender))
```

<div class="tab-pane fade" id="observable" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="observable-tab">

Quarto includes native support for Observable JS, a set of JavaScript enhancements created by Mike Bostock (the author of D3). Observable JS uses a reactive execution model, and is especially well suited for interactive data exploration and analysis.

Plot.plot({

  color: { scheme: "blues", type: "sqrt"},
