The pywwt Jupyter Widget Frontend Module
This NPM package contains the JavaScript code implementing the frontend of the pywwt Jupyter Widget. As such, this package is mostly a pywwt implementation detail.
To use the AAS WorldWide Telescope (WWT) technology inside the JupyterLab computational environment (NB: JupyterLab is distinct from “vanilla” Jupyter), we recommend that you skip this widget and instead use the wwt-jupyterlab extension. The dedicated extension installs the more powerful WWT “research app” into your JupyterLab environment. That being said, this package also includes a small JupyterLab extension that makes the pywwt widget available within the JupyterLab context, if that’s what you want to use.
To write your own WWT-based web apps, check out documentation for the WWT web stack.
WWT is a free, open-source tool for visually exploring humanity’s scientific understanding of the Universe. WWT is brought to you by the non-profit American Astronomical Society (AAS), the major organization of professional astronomers in North America, and the .NET Foundation.
