Jupyter Notebook Web Applications

For programs/modules that run exclusively on Linux/Python2, I find preferable to keep them on a remote Linux server (e.g. pic2plot). This save considerable disk space on my laptop, on the other hand, accessing and modifying remote figures, as in this case, can become quite tedious and time-consuming.

The application described here allows collecting EPS figures located on a remote server, resizing, and eventually saving them locally in a PNG format. It was written in Python inside a Jupyter Notebook with standard python widgets (ipywidgets). The notebook is shown here.

I can then run the notebook as web application with Voila, as shown in the video below.

Note that the button Save as png opens a native Windows dialog for saving the figure on a local machine.
