Hello,
I want to share plots with collaborators in a way that makes it possible for them to annotate certain points. The very basic way to do it would be to just save images, put it in a powerpoint file, and let them add arrows and text boxes to it. This would work but I am wondering if something a little more elegant could be easily done…
I discovered the webagg backend, which seems to work pretty well for the kind of plot I need. But not being a web-developper at all, I wanted to ask a few questions here before burying myself too deep with problems that are very far from my field of expertise.
- Is there another tool more suited for this task?
- Is there more documentation for this backend somewhere?
- Is it easy to make clickable plots with the webagg backend? Something like handling clicks on the canvas, and adding a text annotation to it.
- Is there a way to produce static html+js files? The annotations results could then be saved to a file; every would be done browser-side?
- Is it possible to put the tornado server behind a reverse proxy? I tried this nginx config [1] but to serve the only example I could find but to no avail. My goal would be to add a minimum layer of security in case I serve the files from my computer. I works fine by directly accessing
localhost:8080.
Thanks for reading time, I hope I followed guidelines for this first post.
Best,
– Nicolas
