I made an experimental Pluto.jl notebook to display graphs using Cytoscape.js. Cytoscape is a graph visualization library written in pure JavaScript. I used the package HypertextLiteral.jl to generate HTML output inside of a Pluto notebook. …
Intro to Pluto.jl Pluto.jl is a package for Julia for creating reactive notebooks in your browser. A notebook is a series of cells of code which display their outputs inline. When a function or variable …
Limitation spurs creativity. I think this is why sonnets and haiku continue to be popular modes of expression. In the same spirit, pixel art is a creative limitation that has bred incredible creativity and attention …
