egal
easy SVG drawing in jupyter and elsewhere...
Example
Instructions
Click on the "brush" icon in the jupyter toolbar to create an SVG cell below the current selection.
To change the label of a shape, double-click on it and type. Hit enter to finish. To use latex, start and finish the label
with $$
as in $$\sum_i i$$
.
Features
egal's focus is on drawing simple graphs:
- Basic Shapes (circles, rectangles, lines)
- Connectors
- Labels, with support for Latex
- Alignment hints when dragging and resizing
- Multiple Selection
- Copy & Paste
How Does it Work?
egal creates a raw
jupyter cell and stores the edited SVG in the source code field of that cell.
Installation
Get the Python Package
Manually by cloning and changing the python path:
git clone https://github.com/uclmr/egal.git
cd egal
export PYTHONPATH=.
or (experimental) install python package directly:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/uclmr/egal.git
Install and Enable Extension
jupyter nbextension install --py egal
jupyter nbextension enable --py egal
Optional: Server Extension
If you want to use egal outside of a notebook you need to install the server extensions (which allows clients to save the SVG on the jupyter server):
jupyter serverextension enable --py egal
Then you can edit an SVG on the server via accessing http://localhost:8888/files/draw.html (assuming you run
jupyter notebook
locally).
