A Python widgets library for 2D and 3D molecular visualization in Jupyter notebooks

$ pip install nbmolviz
$ jupyter nbextension enable --python --system nbmolviz
$ jupyter nbextension enable --python --system widgetsnbextension

To draw an OpenBabel molecule:

import nbmolviz
import pybel
benzene = pybel.read_string('smi','c1cccc1').next()
nbmolviz.visualize(benzene)

Requires npm.

$ git clone https://github.com/autodesk/notebook-molecular-visualization.git
$ cd notebook-molecular-visualization
$ python setup.py jsdeps
$ pip install -e .
$ jupyter nbextension install --py --symlink --user nbmolviz
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --user nbmolviz

This will build your widgets into a folder at notebook-molecular-visualization/nbmolviz/static

During development, to see the effects of changes to any javascript files (in notebook-molecular/visualization/js/src), run python setup.py jsdeps and reload any notebook browser windows.

Run tests with:

pytest nbmolviz/_tests

Travis automatically releases commits that are tagged, so to trigger a new release, just do:

git tag <new tag version>
git push origin --tags

If you want to see what will be included in a release, run check-manifest. You could also manually build a release with python setup.py sdist and manually release with python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi.

This project is developed and maintained by the Molecular Design Toolkit project. Please see that project's CONTRIBUTING document for details.

This package started life as hackathon project for the CECAM 2015 Macromolecular Simulation Workshop. It's since undergone a complete source rewrite, and is being released by BioNano Research at Autodesk as part of our suite of Molecular Design Tools.

The visualizers offered by this library were built using:

• ipywidgets - UI library for interactivity in Jupyter notebooks
• 3Dmol.js - 3D molecular visualization library for web browsers
• D3.js - javascript library for graph visualization
