Hi,

I would like to use ipysankeywidget from an IPython terminal (from spyder actually) to generate Sankey diagram. If I try the simple example, I can do everything without any error but nothing is displayed.

Is it possible to output the result in a html or svg file from an IPython terminal? I didn't find anything in the documentation.

Thanks for this great project!

Hi,

ipysankeywidget only works within Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab. If you want to create Sankey diagrams outside of that, try saving the data as a JSON file and using svg-sankey which uses the same underlying library for doing the rendering -- does that do what you're looking for?

Thanks! Using .to_json() from a SankeyData created from weave does the trick.
