Sankey weaver

[alexcolloricchio]

Hi,

I am a beginner Python user and I am experimenting with Floweaver for the first time so sorry if my question is badly posed or incomplete.

I am running Python 3.6 with all floweaver dependencies (pandas and numpy) updated in the working environment, however I cannot visualise the output on my local machine. Any idea what the issue might be?

Thank you

Hi, have you followed the Getting Started section of the README -- especially the bit about enabling ipywidgets and ipysankeywidget?

Hi Rick,

Yes I did, in fact I can visualise the Sankeys on my Jupyter notebooks but not on my python console. Is the software designed to visualise the diagrams only on Jupyter?

I have the same problem. I followed the instructions for installation and the Quick tutorial but I cannot visualize the plots. How can I see them?

@alexcolloricchio @anamarta Yes, the examples all assume you're working in the Jupyter notebook. This is because the Sankey diagrams are actually rendered by the library d3-sankey-diagram via ipysankeywidget, which need to run in the browser.

It's possible to use floWeaver outside of Jupyter notebook, but this is less well documented at the moment. See #34.
