Customizing Notebook Display Layout

By default, calling show() will display your visualization tool inline in your notebook, that is the tool will show underneath the notebook cell it was called from:

from jdaviz import Imviz

imviz = Imviz()
imviz.show()
imviz.load_data('filename.fits')

You can additionally specify the location with the loc argument. For example, inline can be specified manually with:

imviz.show(loc='inline')

Sidecar (Jupyter Lab)

In Jupyter Lab, sidecar provides additional methods to customize where to show the viewer in your workspace. The following shows jdaviz in the default sidecar location, to the right of the notebook:

imviz.show(loc='sidecar')

To manually specify the anchor location, append the anchor to sidecar, separated by a colon:

imviz.show(loc='sidecar:right')

Other anchors include: split-right, split-left, split-top, split-bottom, tab-before, tab-after, right. An up-to-date list can be found at jupyterlab-sidecar.
