Hi all,
I'm working on an interactive (textual) means to edit an automaton
in the notebooks. It looks like this:
I'm using a TextareaWidget to let the user type in her automaton,
and an HTMLWidget for te SVG output from dot. It is interactive
in that I use on_trait_change on the text area to decide whether
to update the output.
I have two questions: is there a simple means to control the frequency
of the updates? When the user is typing, I don't need to receive all
the updates, waiting for a quiet period should be enough. But this
I guess I can't do by myself, don't worry.
My real question is: I'd like to avoid the text area and rather
have a cell magic that would look like:
I can easily do that with usual cell magic functions, but I'd like
to have auto evaluation, so that we don't have to wait for the user
to hit shift-enter. Is there a means to do that?
Thanks in advance!
