Bugs

toscawidgets2 (tw2) aims to be a practical and useful widgets framework that helps people build interactive websites with compelling features, faster and easier. Widgets are re-usable web components that can include a template, server-side code and JavaScripts/CSS resources. The library aims to be: flexible, reliable, documented, performant, and as simple as possible.

The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit (thejit) is a javascript library that provides web standard based tools to create interactive data visualizations for the Web. It is pretty, interactive, and fast.

This module, tw2.jit, provides toscawidgets2 (tw2) widgets that render thejit data visualizations.

Sampling tw2.jit in the WidgetBrowser

The best way to scope out tw2.jit is to load its widgets in the tw2.devtools WidgetBrowser. To see the source code that configures them, check out tw2/jit/samples.py

To give it a try you’ll need git, mercurial, python, and virtualenv. Run:

git clone git://github.com/ralphbean/tw2.jit.git

cd tw2.jit

The following script will set up all the necessary tw2 dependencies in a python virtualenv:

./develop-tw2-destroy-and-setup.sh

The following will enter the virtualenv and start up paster tw2.browser:

./develop-tw2-start.sh
