rappture2web
rappture2web turns Rappture tool XML definitions into interactive web applications — no desktop GUI required.
It reads a tool.xml file, renders the input form in a browser, runs the simulation backend, and displays the output visualizations (curves, fields, tables, maps, and more) in real time over WebSocket.
Features
- Drop-in replacement for the classic Rappture Python library (
rp_library) - Supports all common Rappture output types:
curve,histogram,field(2D/3D/VTK/vector),table,sequence,image,string,number,log,mapviewer - Interactive control panels: theme toggle, download (SVG/PNG/JSON), zoom, colorscale, legend position
- Compare mode: overlay multiple simulation runs on the same plot
- All JavaScript dependencies are bundled (Plotly 3.4, Three.js 0.128) — no CDN required
Installation
pip install rappture2web
Quick start
# Run an existing Rappture tool
rappture2web /path/to/tool/
# Or specify the tool.xml directly
rappture2web /path/to/tool/tool.xml
Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
Tool script compatibility
Tool scripts require only a one-line change — replace the Rappture import:
# Before
import Rappture
rx = Rappture.PyXml(sys.argv[1])
# After
import rappture2web.rp_library as Rappture
rx = Rappture.PyXml(sys.argv[1])
All rx['input.(id).current'].value reads and rx['output.curve(f).component.xy'] = data writes work unchanged.
