Research direction

Open Inspecting_MagIC_directional_data.ipynb and start with the cells containing specimen_name and ipmag.zeq_magic. Use the proposed ipywidgets approach to let a user select a specimen from a dropdown, then confirm that plotting uses the selected specimen without manual name entry.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Make functionality that enables a user to chose a specimen to plot using a dropdown menu within the Inspecting_MagIC_directional_data.ipynb notebook. The idea is that ipywidgets could enable this functionality thereby replacing manually entering the specimen name as in this code:

specimen_name = 'NED17-4b'
ipmag.zeq_magic(save_plots=False, specimen='NED17-4b')
