nbmolviz 0.6.3

The Notebook Molecular Visualization Library: WebGL-based molecular visualization tools for Jupyter notebooks

notebook-molecular-visualization
===============================

A Python widgets library for 2D and 3D molecular visualization in Jupyter notebooks

## Installation

$ pip install nbmolviz
$ jupyter nbextension enable --python --system nbmolviz
$ jupyter nbextension enable --python --system widgetsnbextension



## Examples

To draw an OpenBabel molecule:
```python
import nbmolviz
import pybel
benzene = pybel.read_string('smi','c1cccc1').next()
nbmolviz.visualize(benzene)
```



## Dev install
Requires npm.

$ git clone https://github.com/autodesk/notebook-molecular-visualization.git
$ cd notebook-molecular-visualization/nbmolviz
$ python setup.py jsdeps
$ pip install -e .
$ jupyter nbextension install --py --symlink --user nbmolviz
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --user nbmolviz

This will build your widgets into a folder at `notebook-molecular-visualization/nbmolviz/static`

During development, to see the effects of changes to any javascript files (in notebook-molecular/visualization/js/src), run `python setup.py jsdeps` and reload any notebook browser windows.

## About
This package started life as hackathon project for the <a href="http://www.cecam.org/workshop-1214.html">CECAM 2015 Macromolecular Simulation Workshop.</a> It's since undergone a complete source rewrite, and is being released by BioNano Research at Autodesk as part of our suite of Molecular Design Tools.

The visualizers offered by this library were built using:
- <a href="https://github.com/jupyter/ipywidgets">ipywidgets</a> - UI library for interactivity in Jupyter notebooks
- <a href="http://3dmol.csb.pitt.edu/doc/index.html">3Dmol.js</a> - 3D molecular visualization library for web browsers
- <a href="http://d3js.org/">D3.js</a> - javascript library for graph visualization
