print html snippet from d3py

[alexdeng]

scenario: In python web applications, one would want to insert d3 visualization with d3py by "printing" html snippet to an existing html. For example, googleVis package in R provides such functionality in its print function, which can be used with R markdown to produce html page easily.

You can access the string representations of all the code that has been created directly from the figure. For example, once you create a figure,

fig = Figure() + Line('x', 'y')

You can get the raw string code by looking at fig.html, fig.js, fig.css. All three objects can be safely casted to a string.

print "html: ", str(fig.html) print "js: ", str(fig.js) print "css: ", str(fig.css)

Thanks Micha! That is exactly what I was asking for. Do you think it worth providing a simple function to wrap the 3 parts(html, js. css) together?

@alexdeng I think adding such a specialty function would clutter the figure object! Also note that those properties (fig.(html|css|js)) are updated when you call fig.save().
