QuantStack / xplot

C++ backend for the bqplot 2-D plotting library

C++ backend for the bqplot 2-D plotting library.

xplot is an early developer preview, and is not suitable for general usage yet. Features and implementation are subject to change.

Introduction

xplot is a C++ backend for the bqplot 2-D plotting library. It is based upon the xwidgets library, the C++ implementation of the Jupyter interactive widgets protocol.

xplot enables the use of the bqplot 2-D library in the C++ notebook, powered by the xeus-cling kernel and the cling C++ interpreter from CERN. xplot can also be used to create applications making use of the Jupyter interactive widgets without the C++ kernel.

Installation

We provide a package for the conda package manager.

• Installing xplot and the C++ kernel

conda install xeus-cling xplot -c QuantStack -c conda-forge

Then, the front-end extension must be installed for either the classic notebook or JupyterLab.

• Installing the extensions for the classic notebook

conda install widgetsnbextension -c conda-forge
conda install bqplot>=0.11.4,<0.12 -c conda-forge

• Installing the JupyterLab extension

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
jupyter labextension install bqplot@^0.4.3

Or you can directly install it from the sources if you have all the dependencies already installed:

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your_install_prefix
make install
