What is this?

Repo for cataloging the behavior of widgets in Thebe, libretexts, and on jupyterhub. Reference to this issue.

How to use

Use python3 -m http.server within the Thebe/ directory and navigate to localhost:8000 to see the Thebe results. Change the url to the different html pages within the Thebe/ directory or use the directory listing to view them.

Checklist

Widget	Thebe	JupyterHub	Libretexts
bokeh	Does not display any output, says "JavaScript output is disabled in JupyterLab"	Works properly	Does not display any output, says "JavaScript output is disabled in JupyterLab" (same as Thebe)
ipympl	Works properly, needs some handlers and Awesome Font	Works properly	Works properly
ipyleaflet	Works properly	Works properly	Displays, but cells cannot communicate as seen in heatmap example (this is a limitation of current CKeditor plugin)
pythreejs	Works properly	Works properly	Works properly (heavily limited by lack of cell communication)
ipywidgets	interact() does not display the widget. Some widgets work on their own (BoundedIntText), and others do not (IntSlider).	Works Properly	interact() does not display the widget, same error as Thebe
bqplot	Needs Awesome Font and pan zoom button to move the plot around does not work. Otherwise seems to work properly	Works properly	Pan zoom button does not work, but save button does, same as Thebe
ipyvolume	figure displays, but sliders and buttons do not render properly, also gives a python error	gives same error as ipyvolume-image, very buggy in general but does "work"	buttons do render but sliders do not, same issues as Thebe (not installed)
nglview	buttons do not display so the animation cannot be run, otherwise works properly	Works properly	Does not display animation slider, but everything (including animation) works properly otherwise (not installed)
ipycytoscape	Works properly	Works properly	Works properly (not installed)
ipygany	Works properly except for ipywidget sliders do not show (if you choose to use them with thresholds, for example
plotly	Works properly	Works properly	Plots do not display

Screenshots for widgets with bugs

ipyleaflet

In Thebe (works properly)

In Libretexts (cells cannot communicate, so the heatmap and timelapse do not work)

ipywidgets

In Thebe (interact() does not work, and some widgets give an error when trying to display)

In JupyterLab (works properly)

In Libretexts (same issues as in Thebe)

bqplot

In JupyerLab (works properly)

In Libretexts (pan zoom button does not work, so cannot move the plot around. save button does work)

ipyvolume

In Thebe (missing button rendering and no sliders as well as python error. buttons probably could be loaded with external scripts, but the sliders are likely bugged the same way interact() from ipywidgets is)

In JupyterLab (Everything renders properly, but there is still a python error. this is just buggy source code)

In Libretexts (buttons render but sliders do not, similar to Thebe)

nglview

In Thebe (buttons do not display, cannot run the animation)

In JupyerLab (works properly)

In Libretexts (buttons do display but not the animation slider, graphic/animation works properly and can be toyed with)

bokeh

In Thebe (Javascript error)

In JupyterLab (works properly)

ipygany

In Thebe (visual loads fine, ipywidget sliders will not)

plotly

In Thebe (works properly)

In Jupyterlab (works properly)

In LibreTexts (doesn't show plots)
