Serialization #451
Description
After presenting notebooks with a thesis committee member today I realized that it would be useful to serialize plots to disk so I that I can quickly bring them back up when a Flatiron cluster node decides to end my session 😆 .
GSP is a WIP but I'm thinking of something much simpler, at least for now.
- Each
Graphicimplementsto_dict()and classmethodfrom_dict()that stores all the buffers necessary to create the appropriate geometry and material for thatGraphic, this can probably be implemented via methods on correspondingGraphicFeatures. - Apart from serializing Graphics, I think we just need to store the state of each
PlotArea, i.e. cameras, controllers, canvas size. GridPlotholds info for the gridplot configuration and all subplots- For
ImageWidgetwe would need to store the entire 2D or 3D movie, so maybe ultimately store things to zarr instead of hdf5. 🤔 - classmethods on
Plot,GridPlotandImageWidget? - Somewhere in the output file store the type of plot that needs to be constructed and the fpl version it was created in. Have a helper function
fastplotlib.load_viz() that auto create the right type of plot - No animation function support for now
I'll play around with this and note that it's very experimental.
