Colight: declarative, reactive visuals in Python

---

colight.plot provides a composable way to create interactive plots using Observable Plot.

Key features:

• Functional, composable plot creation built on Observable Plot (with near 1:1 API correspondence between Python and JavaScript)
• Support for sliders & animations
• Works in Jupyter / Google Colab
• HTML mode which persists plots across kernel restart/shutdown, and a Widget mode which supports Python<>JavaScript interactivity
• Terse layout syntax for organizing plots into rows and columns
• Hiccup implementation for interspersing arbitrary HTML
• Export visualizations as HTML or as .colight files for embedding in websites

For detailed usage instructions and examples, refer to the Colight User Guide.

## Development

Run `yarn watch` to compile the JavaScript bundle.

### CI Workflows

The project has several CI workflows:
- **Tests**: Runs JavaScript and Python unit tests
- **WebGPU Screenshots**: Tests 3D WebGPU rendering capabilities by capturing screenshots in headless Chrome
- **Docs**: Builds and deploys documentation
- **Pyright**: Runs type checking for Python code
- **Ruff**: Runs code formatting and linting
