Customize your jupyter notebook
Adding custom theme
First we have to install jupyterthemes
Install with pip
# install jupyterthemes
pip install jupyterthemes
# upgrade to latest version
pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes
for more info refer the docs
Applying theme
jt -t onedork -altp -tfs 11 -nfs 115 -cellw 88% -T -N -cursc p -f firacode -dfs 10 -fs 14 -ofs 11
refer docs for understanding each flag
also I have modified css for tooltip and completions in
custom.css copy and paste at ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.css
Adding styles for Plots
Include the following in ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/startup.ipy
file to set plotting style automatically whenever you start a notebook
# import jtplot module in notebook
from jupyterthemes import jtplot
# choose which theme to inherit plotting style from
# onedork | grade3 | oceans16 | chesterish | monokai | solarizedl | solarizedd
jtplot.style(theme='onedork')
# set "context" (paper, notebook, talk, poster)
# scale font-size of ticklabels, legend, etc.
# remove spines from x and y axes and make grid dashed
jtplot.style(context='talk', fscale=1.4, spines=False, gridlines='--')
# turn on X- and Y-axis tick marks (default=False)
# turn off the axis grid lines (default=True)
# and set the default figure size
jtplot.style(ticks=True, grid=False)
Note: I had this problem of styles not getting applied for plots I solved it by installing jupyterthemes through Anaconda terminal
Adding Extensions
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions jupyter_nbextensions_configurator
then
jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable --user
now restart/start Jupyter Notebook and you should be seeing a new tab to enable/disable extensions.
for example:
to enable autocompletion
jupyter nbextension enable hinterland/hinterland
