#RISE
Reveal.js - Jupyter/IPython Slideshow Extension, also known as live_reveal
To install this nbextension, simply run python setup.py install from the
live_reveal repository.
You also have some interesting optional arguments, such as:
--develop Install livereveal as a symlink to the source.
--profile PROFILE The name of the profile to use.Note: We are now (27 Feb 2015) using the new frontend config system, so if
you installed RISE with the --develop option before, please reinstall it
again. Thanks.
My talk about RISE at SciPy 2014 (click on the image to see it):
As you now... I love Jupyter/IPython and I like Reveal.js a lot.
Previously, I developed a "converter" for the IPython.nbconvert library to
export ipynb to a STATIC html slideshow based in Reveal.js library.
But now, here, you don't have a STATIC version anymore, you have a LIVE version... I mean, a notebook rendered as a Reveal.js-based slideshow, where you can execute code or show to the audience whatever you can show/do inside the plain notebook (but in a nicer way).
NOTES
1- RISE master branch will be following the Jupyter/IPython master codebase. There is also a released RISE 2.x version compatible with the IPython 2.x series, but this version will be not mainteined after IPython 3.0 release.
2- I am still learning JS to do that, so probably the code is ugly. I will try to improve it, the good notice: it is working!!
3- You have an example presentation as a gist here: https://gist.github.com/damianavila/6345426. You can test the extension with it or use it as a template... or make your own presentaion ;-)
4: I tested the extension without losing any ipynb for more than one year now,
but I am touching your ipynb in a complex way... so, make sure you have a
backup of your ipynb to prevent any possible loss.
5: You can know more about the reveal-specific shortcuts just pressing the help button at the bottom left of your slideshow.
6: There are some issues in Firefox (if you use it, please report me any issue because I want to support both browsers), so I recommend to use Chromium/Chrome during your talks).
I encourage you to use the setup.py-based installation (see above), but if you
insist about doing it manually, you need to put the livereveal folderfrom the
repo into your .ipython/nbextensions folder and run this python code to enable
it:
from IPython.html.services.config import ConfigManager
cm = ConfigManager()
cm.update('notebook', {"load_extensions": {"livereveal/main": True}})or this python code to disable it:
from IPython.html.services.config import ConfigManager
cm = ConfigManager()
cm.update('notebook', {"load_extensions": {"livereveal/main": False}})You can configure the theme and the transition of your slides just running
this python code:
from IPython.html.services.config import ConfigManager
cm = ConfigManager()
cm.update('livereveal', {
'theme': 'serif',
'transition': 'zoom',
})and now your slides will get the serif theme and the zoom transition.
Reveal.js supports the Leap Motion controller. To control RISE slideshows with the Leap, put the reveal leap plugin options in your config by running this Python code:
from IPython.html.services.config import ConfigManager
cm = ConfigManager()
cm.update('livereveal', {
'leap_motion': {
'naturalSwipe' : True, # Invert swipe gestures
'pointerOpacity': 0.5, # Set pointer opacity to 0.5
'pointerColor' : '#d80000',# Red pointer
}
})To disable it:
from IPython.html.services.config import ConfigManager
cm = ConfigManager()
cm.update('livereveal', {'leap_motion': None})If you have any feedback, or find any bugs, please let me know just opening an issue.
Thanks!
Damián.
