Vizic

A Jupyter widget for visualizing astronomical catalog data

Note

Part of the project was orginally forked from ipyleaflet, which is a Jupyter / Leaflet bridge enabling interactive maps in the Jupyter notebook. As a major component of Vizic, ipyleaflet has been modified and improved in a way to better suite the needs of Vizic.

Dependencies:

MongoDB

Installation

$ pip3 install vizic
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix vizic

For a development installation (requires npm):

$ git clone https://github.com/ywx649999311/vizic.git
$ cd vizic
$ pip install -e .
$ jupyter nbextension install --py --symlink --sys-prefix vizic
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix vizic

To run the Jupyter Notebook with:

$ jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.nbserver_extensions="{'vizic.mongo_ext.extension':True}"

Note for developers: the --symlink argument on Linux or OS X allows one to modify the JavaScript code in-place. This feature is not available with Windows.
