Can I use this on Google Colaboratory?

[tomizo103]

Hi. Thank you for making wonderful library!

I tried to install this to Google Colaboratory.

!pip install ipyvolume
worked well. But Colaboratory is not jupyter itself, so I couldn't do
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipyvolume
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension

I tried this and it also worked well,

!pip install ipywidgets~=7.0.0

But I couldn't see any result images for 2-3 examples. (Quick Intro, Volume, Scatter plot, etc.)

I use safari ver11.1.1 from MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra ver10.13.5

In my local jupyter environment, I can see the result images on safari,
but not on Chrome ver67.0.3396.87, so I tried to access Colaboratory with safari.

Is there any way to try?

Thank you.

Hi Norio,

thanks for the kinds words!
I have no idea how colab works, I should look into it! I'll keep this open as a reminder.
Can you try ipyvolume 0.4.6 (I just had a fix for chrome released).

cheers,

Maarten

Thank you!

I uninstalled 0.4.5 and installed 0.4.6, and did

jupyter nbextension enable --py --user ipyvolume
jupyter nbextension enable --py --user widgetsnbextension

I saw the sliders but no result image...

By the way, I can't see neither the images on top page of ipycolume by Chrome.

Both of them works well on Safari ver11.1.1(13605.2.8)

Are there errors in the Javascript console in either case? Those errors tend to provide a good starting point for debugging missing elements.

Given https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47269168/ipywidgets-with-google-colaboratory and googlecolab/colabtools#60 it seems colab is currently not supported.

Does it work on Google Colaboratory?

@qo4on I tried to use ipyvolume in Google Golab with no success. Executing the pasted code, a message telling "Runtime disconnected" was shown and the code cell keep running in a loop. No figure was shown.

import ipyvolume as ipv
import numpy as np
x, y, z = np.random.random((3, 10000))
ipv.quickscatter(x, y, z, size=1, marker="sphere")

Is there any news or advances in this issue?

More than a year have passed. Obviously they are not going to fix this bug.

Anybody knows a library for scatter 3D visualization in Google Colabs?

Is there any news or advances in this issue?

We've spoken to some of the colab people, and they are working on supporting widgets. However, as I understood it, they need to manually support specific widget libraries, for instance core ipywidgets seems supported. I cannot add support for colab, colab needs to add ipyvolume javascript code at their side.

I tried running the code, and I saw in the JS console of the browser:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Widgets module jupyter-threejs is not supported

So step 0 would be to ask colab to support that first.

More than a year have passed. Obviously they are not going to fix this bug.

I'm not sure that's obvious.

Hello @maartenbreddels. Thank you for your response and your work. VAEX is really astonishing. I have just sent a tweet to Google Colab. I hope that it helps to alleviate the lack of support given by them. Best regards!

Three.js seems to be supported now. But not jupyter-threejs
