# Ipyfastscape

Interactive widgets for topographic data analysis and modelling in Jupyter notebooks.

While ipyfastscape is tightly integrated with [fastscape](https://github.com/fastscape-lem/fastscape), it also integrates very well with any data in the form of an [xarray](https://github.com/pydata/xarray) dataset or any model created with [xarray-simlab](https://github.com/benbovy/xarray-simlab).

The widgets available here are built on top of libraries of the jupyter’s widget ecosystem such as [ipywidgets](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets) and [ipygany](https://github.com/QuantStack/ipygany). You can reuse those high-level UI components as-is within notebooks (embedded mini-apps) or for building interactive dashboards that you can then publish as standalone web applications (using [voilà](https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila)).

## Features

• TopoViz3d: Paraview-like 3D terrain visualization, with time player and dimension explorer


• AppLinker: Easily link different application instances for, e.g., side-by-side comparison

## Installation

You can install ipyfastscape either with conda:

` sh $ conda install ipyfastscape -c conda-forge `

or using pip:

` sh $ python -m pip install ipyfastscape `

If you use jupyterlab (2.x), you also need to install some extensions:

` sh $ jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager ipygany `

If you installed ipyfastscape using pip and you are using jupyter’s “classic” notebook, you need to enable those extensions:

` sh $ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipygany `
