/K3D-jupyter

K3D lets you create 3D plots backed by WebGL with high-level API (surfaces, isosurfaces, voxels, mesh, cloud points, vtk objects, volume renderer, colormaps, etc). The primary aim of K3D-jupyter is to be easy for use as stand alone package like matplotlib, but also to allow interoperation with existing libraries as VTK.

K3D lets you create 3D plots backed by WebGL with high-level API (surfaces, isosurfaces, voxels, mesh, cloud points, vtk objects, volume renderer, colormaps, etc). The primary aim of K3D-jupyter is to be easy for use as stand alone package like matplotlib, but also to allow interoperation with existing libraries as VTK. K3D can be run as:

  • Jupyter Notebook extension ๐Ÿš€
  • Jupyter Lab extension ๐ŸŽ‰
  • Google Colab extension ๐Ÿงช [still experimental]

Installation

PyPI

To install from PyPI use pip:

$ pip install k3d

Conda/Anaconda

To install from conda-forge use:

$ conda install -c conda-forge k3d

Google Colab

First you need to install k3d:

!pip install k3d
!jupyter nbextension install --py --user k3d
!jupyter nbextension enable --py --user k3d

After that you need to activate custom widgets and switch k3d to text protocol:

import k3d
from google.colab import output

output.enable_custom_widget_manager()

k3d.switch_to_text_protocol()

Installing directly from GitHub

To install directy from this repository (requires git and node.js + npm to build):

$ pip install git+https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter

This also makes possible installing the most up-to-date development version (same requirements):

$ pip install git+https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter@devel

To install any historical version, replace devel above with any tag or commit hash.

Source

For a development installation (requires npm and node.js),

$ git clone https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter.git
$ cd K3D-jupyter
$ pip install -e .

Then, if required, JupyterLab installation:

$ jupyter labextension install ./js
