Ngl: Standalone NGL viewer (from python?)

Created on 9 Apr 2018 · 3Comments · Source: nglviewer/ngl

Sorry if this is the wrong issue tracker (should it go to nglview?).

I was wondering if something has been done on using ngl directly from a python console (without jupyter). I remember discussing it in the past with you and that it was feasible but I haven't kept up with your development and could use a quick update :)

I have no clue from the field, but I know for example that standalone js programs exist like Atom. Also I have seen some python plotting libraries (using some lightweight js server?) pop up browser plots from python console.

Thanks!

Well, this was surprisingly trivial https://github.com/stefdoerr/ElectroNGL
Next I'll try to see how to get IPC working with python to send messages over to the GUI.

That is more of an nglview issue. It is not supported at the moment.

Oh, ok. I'm tempted to try my luck with Electron as a side-project if it doesn't end up being too complicated.
