Feature request: customizable controls

(or maybe this is possible and I was just unable to find it)

In the applications I’m interested in the “rotation” tool is not really necessary, and I find it a little confusing in how it treats the axis ticks (they seem to change in some strange, not-data-based way). So it would be preferable to disable that tool from the interactive widget.

From reading the code I think this would be fairly simple, just an additional option that changes how mouse_mode_widget is created?

Thanks for developing this tool, it is very cool!

It depends on the scope/functionality you’re thinking of.

At the moment, I am not entirely sure what kind of customization you’re having in mind. If it’s about hiding/showing pre-defined buttons I am not entirely sure it’s worth the effort. If it’s about creating new custom buttons, I’m simply a bit hesitant as I don’t want to replicate functionality that is already provided by ipywidgets.

Having said all that, maybe you can provide a example of how you envision one would customize the buttons and how it helps the user. I might simply miss the use case and might be convinced that it’s a good idea to allow customizing the buttons. 😃

I see, thanks for clarifying.

For customization, you can use ipywidgets. For instance, the scatter.show() method is merely a helper to link some jupyter-scatter functionality to buttons using ipywidgets. But you can easily create your own toolbar or customizations with ipywidgets.
