4. Interactive Widgets and extensions (Examples)#

In addition to the standard in- and output cells, Jupyter allows the use and definition of interactive widgets (sliders, drop-down, etc.), which can be coupled to calculations and allow interactive exploration of parameter spaces.

These are based on Jupyter extensions, that are accessible via the Plugin/Puzzle icon on the left. For your convenience, this ipywidget extension has been pre-installed on most of the FB05 standard server/kernel images.

Please see this example

Similar extensions allow sophisticated data visualisations and cartography (see, e.g., the pyGMT.ipynb example for GMT).

Some more examples, taken from Examples but rendered statically, are shown in the following sub-sections.
