Get render window in jupyter and integrate it with ipyvtk

Hello,

It seems that ipyvtk-simple supports all vtk-based viewers in jupyter notebooks. What kind of code would allow embedding a plot made with vedo inside ipyvtk?

It seems to work with Paraview and pyvista. I tried to plug plot.window into ipyvtk but I got none.

Is there a way to retrieve the window from plot.show() in jupyter notebook?

from vedo import *
from ipyvtk_simple.viewer import ViewInteractiveWidget
# embedWindow(False) # ideally, we would specify ipyvtk here
plot = Plotter()
obj = load(datadir+"cessna.vtk")
plot.show(obj)
# After show, I should have access to window property
print(plot.window) # yields None
ViewInteractiveWidget(plot.window) # So this won't work obviously

A note here: ipyvtk-simple was renamed to ipyvtklink. Please include the renaming in your next update. 😃

It does work! I haven’t checked the releases recently so I had no idea. Thanks a lot for making that work! As a side-note, if like me you have some commented code below the line ViewInteractiveWidget(plot.window), the viewer will not appear in the notebook and instead you will have what’s in the comments printed. Just remove any comment below that line and it works like a charm.

Edit More precisely: only multi-line comments after that line prevent the viewer from being shown. Comments with a sharp sign do not alter the viewer.
