Simplify the creation of GUI elements in Jupyter notebooks

Easy GUI Jupyter

Easy GUI Jupyter is a Python library that simplifies the creation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Jupyter notebooks using ipywidgets. It provides a convenient way to add various types of widgets to your Jupyter notebooks, making it easier to interact with your code and visualize results.

Features

• Simplifies the creation of GUIs in Jupyter notebooks
• Supports a variety of widget types, including labels, buttons, text inputs, sliders, checkboxes, and dropdowns
• Allows saving and loading widget values to maintain user settings across sessions
• Provides a clean and intuitive API for adding and managing widgets

Installation

To install Easy GUI Jupyter, you can use pip:

pip install easy_gui_jupyter

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use Easy GUI Jupyter in your Jupyter notebook:

from easy_gui_jupyter import EasyGUI

# Create an instance of EasyGUI
eg = EasyGUI()

# Add a text widget
eg.add_text("text", value="Hello, world!")

# Display the GUI
eg.show()

This will create a GUI with a single text widget displaying "Hello, world!".

You can add more widgets using the various add_* methods provided by the EasyGUI class. For example:

# Add an integer slider
eg.add_int_slider("int_slider", min=0, max=10, value=5)

# Add a checkbox
eg.add_checkbox("checkbox", value=True)

# Add a dropdown
options = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"]
eg.add_dropdown("dropdown", options=options, value=options)

To access the values of the widgets, you can use the [] operator with the widget's tag:

# Get the value of the text widget
text_value = eg["text"].value

# Get the value of the integer slider
int_slider_value = eg["int_slider"].value

Saving and Loading Settings

Easy GUI Jupyter allows you to save and load widget values to maintain user settings across sessions. To enable this feature, set the remember_value parameter to True when adding a widget:

# Add a float slider with remembered value
eg.add_float_slider("float_slider", min=0.0, max=1.0, step=0.1, value=0.5, remember_value=True)

To save the current widget values, call the save_settings() method:

# Save the current widget values
eg.save_settings()

The widget values will be saved to a configuration file in the user's home directory.
