K3D-jupyter 3D visualisation in jupyter notebook

Intro

K3D-jupyter is a jupyter widget for displaing 3D content inside a notebook. It uses notebook communication for sending data. It is possible to create a plot and interactively change data, add elements etc.

• prototype, developed in september-december 2015
• it aims to be small and efficient ( 512x512 mesh is updated in
• uses three.js as 3d engine

• two separated repos in K3D-tools:

  • K3D-jupyter - interface with jupyter
  • K3D javascript part of the widget
• plotting data rather than algebra

Getting K3D-jupyter to work in SageMath

K3D-jupyter can be installed in SageMath, then it can be used from jupyter notebook (internal one or external).

The repo K3D-Jupyter-shim contains prepackaged K3D-jupyter so it has less dependencies than K3D-jupyter. It can by easily installed inside SageMath. We tested it with version of Sage - 7.2.

    git clone https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-Jupyter-shim.git
    cd K3D-Jupyter-shim
    make install-user
