Embed ipyniivue in exported document

[alexisthual]

I just tried exporting a jupyter notebook comprising a cell generated with ipyniivue. I exported it as an html file in order to see what kind of information would be embedded in the document.

In place of the output of the widget, there is a textual description of the widget. This was what I expected would happen, but I'd be interested to hear if you have plans for users to export static HTML files in the future!

Thank you for the nice library anyways! :blush:

This would be useful. We should look into this.

Some notes from the nilearn dev team meeting:

• load object/volume/mesh into niivue -> turn into array base64 string and save into notebook
• output should be self-contained
• NiivueModel should store the array of base64 strings (and other data about model state)
• when a new cell is run (ie NiivueView rendered), an update() function should be called that reads the array of base64 strings and displays the niivue instance
