The pywwt Jupyter Widget Frontend Module
This NPM package contains the JavaScript code implementing the frontend of the pywwt Jupyter Widget. As such, this package is mostly a pywwt implementation detail.
To use the WorldWide Telescope (WWT) technology inside the JupyterLab computational environment (NB: JupyterLab is distinct from “vanilla” Jupyter), we recommend that you skip this widget and instead use the wwt-jupyterlab extension. The dedicated extension installs the more powerful WWT “research app” into your JupyterLab environment. That being said, this package also includes a small JupyterLab extension that makes the pywwt widget available within the JupyterLab context, if that’s what you want to use.
To write your own WWT-based web apps, check out documentation for the WWT web stack.
The WorldWide Telescope project is fiscally sponsored by NumFOCUS. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to help support the project. Work on WWT has been supported by the American Astronomical Society (AAS), the .NET Foundation, and other organizational partners. See the WWT user website for details.
