Numeric widgets

There are 8 widgets distributed with IPython that are designed to display numeric values. Widgets exist for displaying integers and floats, both bounded and unbounded. The integer widgets share a similar naming scheme to their floating point counterparts. By replacing Float with Int in the widget name, you can find the Integer equivalent.

FloatSlider


In [2]:
widgets.FloatSlider(
    value=7.5,
    min=5.0,
    max=10.0,
    step=0.1,
    description='Test:',
)


Widget Javascript not detected.  It may not be installed or enabled properly.

Sliders can also be displayed vertically.


In [ ]:
widgets.FloatSlider(
    value=7.5,
    min=5.0,
    max=10.0,
    step=0.1,
    description='Test',
    orientation='vertical',
)

FloatProgress


In [ ]:
widgets.FloatProgress(
    value=7.5,
    min=5.0,
    max=10.0,
    step=0.1,
    description='Loading:',
)

BoundedFloatText


In [ ]:
widgets.BoundedFloatText(
    value=7.5,
    min=5.0,
    max=10.0,
    description='Text:',
)

FloatText


In [ ]:
widgets.FloatText(
    value=7.5,
    description='Any:',
)

Boolean widgets

There are two widgets that are designed to display a boolean value.

ToggleButton


In [ ]:
widgets.ToggleButton(
    description='Click me',
    value=False,
)

Checkbox


In [ ]:
widgets.Checkbox(
    description='Check me',
    value=True,
)

Selection widgets

There are four widgets that can be used to display single selection lists, and one that can be used to display multiple selection lists. All inherit from the same base class. You can specify the enumeration of selectable options by passing a list. You can also specify the enumeration as a dictionary, in which case the keys will be used as the item displayed in the list and the corresponding value will be returned when an item is selected.


In [ ]:
from IPython.display import display
w = widgets.Dropdown(
    options=['1', '2', '3'],
    value='2',
    description='Number:',
)
display(w)

In [ ]:
w.value

The following is also valid:


In [ ]:
w = widgets.Dropdown(
    options={'One': 1, 'Two': 2, 'Three': 3},
    value=2,
    description='Number:',
)
display(w)

In [ ]:
w.value

RadioButtons


In [ ]:
widgets.RadioButtons(
    description='Pizza topping:',
    options=['pepperoni', 'pineapple', 'anchovies'],
)

Select


In [ ]:
widgets.Select(
    description='OS:',
    options=['Linux', 'Windows', 'OSX'],
)

ToggleButtons


In [ ]:
widgets.ToggleButtons(
    description='Speed:',
    options=['Slow', 'Regular', 'Fast'],
)

SelectMultiple

Multiple values can be selected with shift and ctrl pressed and mouse clicks or arrow keys.


In [ ]:
w = widgets.SelectMultiple(
    description="Fruits",
    options=['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears']
)
display(w)

In [ ]:
w.value

String widgets

There are 4 widgets that can be used to display a string value. Of those, the Text and Textarea widgets accept input. The Latex and HTML widgets display the string as either Latex or HTML respectively, but do not accept input.

Text


In [ ]:
widgets.Text(
    description='String:',
    value='Hello World',
)

Textarea


In [ ]:
widgets.Textarea(
    description='String:',
    value='Hello World',
)

Latex


In [ ]:
widgets.Latex(
    value="$$\\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} = \\binom{n}{k}$$",
)

HTML


In [ ]:
widgets.HTML(
    value="Hello <b>World</b>"
)

Button


In [ ]:
widgets.Button(description='Click me')
