ipyvolume & bqplot¶

This example shows how the selection from a ipyvolume quiver plot can be controlled with a bqplot scatter plot and it’s selection tools. We first get a small dataset from vaex

[1]:

import numpy as np
import vaex

[2]:

ds = vaex.example()
N = 2000 # for performance reasons we only do a subset
x, y, z, vx, vy, vz, Lz, E = [ds.columns[k][:N] for k in "x y z vx vy vz Lz E".split()]

bqplot scatter plot¶

And create a scatter plot with bqplot

[3]:

import bqplot.pyplot as plt

[4]:

plt.figure(1, title="E Lz space")
scatter = plt.scatter(Lz, E,
                selected_style={'opacity': 0.2, 'size':1, 'stroke': 'red'},
                unselected_style={'opacity': 0.2, 'size':1, 'stroke': 'blue'},
                default_size=1,
               )
plt.brush_selector()
plt.show()

Ipyvolume quiver plot¶

And use ipyvolume to create a quiver plot

[5]:

import ipyvolume.pylab as ipv

[6]:

ipv.clear()
quiver = ipv.quiver(x, y, z, vx, vy, vz, size=2, size_selected=5, color_selected="blue")
ipv.show()

Linking ipyvolume and bqplot¶

Using jslink, we link the selected properties of both widgets, and we display them next to eachother using a VBox.

[7]:

from ipywidgets import jslink, VBox

[8]:

jslink((scatter, 'selected'), (quiver, 'selected'))

Link(source=(Scatter(colors=['steelblue'], default_size=1, interactions={'hover': 'tooltip'}, scales={'x': Lin…

[9]:

hbox = VBox([ipv.current.container, plt.figure(1)])
# TODO: cannot display the figure twice currently
# hbox

Embedding¶

We embed the two widgets in an html file, creating a standlone plot.

[10]:

import ipyvolume.embed
# if we don't do this, the bqplot will be really tiny in the standalone html
bqplot_layout = hbox.children[1].layout
bqplot_layout.min_width = "400px"

[11]:

ipyvolume.embed.embed_html("bqplot.html", hbox, offline=True, devmode=True)
