ipysketch

PyPI version

A Python package for handwriting and sketching in Jupyter notebooks.

Usage

A movie is worth a thousand pictures is worth a million words...

Sketch Demo

Where are my sketches saved?

When creating a Sketch instance, you give it a name, say mysketch. The sketch is then saved in the same folder as the Jupyter notebook in two files with ending .isk and .png. The first file is the ipysketch-internal file format, the second is a PNG-representation of it, which is also displayed in the notebook.

Using ipysketch without Jupyter

The ipysketch GUI can also be used outside of Jupyter notebooks. To create a sketch named mysketch enter:

python -m ipysketch mysketch

Installation

First, install the ipysketch package using pip:

pip install --upgrade ipysketch

Then install and enable the widgets extension in Jupyter:

jupyter nbextension install --user --py widgetsnbextension
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension

Development

Set up development environment

First clone or fork the repository. Then install the package in development mode:

pip install -e .

Running the tests

python -m unittest discover test

Running test coverage

If not already installed:

pip install coverage

Then

coverage run --source=ipysketch setup.py test
coverage report -m

Compatibility

ipysketch requires Python 3.
