treant-js is a javascript library to plot diagram and trees. The goal is to wrap it as a library for python.

Let’s take one of the example and look at the source: tennis draw. I took the source of the example and I changed relative to absolute paths. There are two parts:

  • HTML: defines styles, references external script, new HTML and section div

  • Javascript: defines a tree structure as Json and calls treant-js to convert it into SVG.

What’s next?#

  • Add local support

  • Make the graph stick when the notebook is display again (reload dependencies)

  • Change parameter json_tree for a dictionary with options

  • Create an API to create the data in Python and not in Json.
