[IPython-dev] Notebook + WebGL = Molecule Drawer?

[Rich Stoner]

Patrick et. al,

Here is the xtk-ipython repo:
https://github.com/richstoner/xtk-ipython-examples

I think that, as part of the plans to eliminate arbitrary js execution at
the notebook interface, building out wrappers around the larger js
frameworks makes a lot of sense. This is the approach taken here:
https://github.com/fperez/xtk-ipython


Best -

Rich
