Technical notes on the tools used

To allow for interactive visualizations, a number of tools are used, in particular:

  • jupyter to provide interactive notebooks
  • ipywidgets for the widgets (dropdowns, sliders, ...)
  • bqplot for plotting
  • appmode to convert a standard jupyter notebook into a "web app"
  • mybinder to open notebooks on the web
