The big question for my teaching this year is, "Will a student incorporate a #holoviews visualization in a #folium pop-up as part of their final project, with the combo being implemented in an #jupyter notebook that I can execute after downloading their work." I've strongly hinted that this is one way to show me they can wrangle and share data and results. #ReproducibleResearch
@electricarchaeo I've decided that in the next 71 minutes I'm going to make a proof-of-concept demo. Or try. And then say, "This can work, take it from here...." And it's not that hard. Point is to get them thinking about combinations of previous work that multiply the impact of their efforts. (Now 70 minutes...)
@electricarchaeo almost got it working before class, then worked on it with students in class so they could understand hoops. They got to see me Googling for holoviews help (#SausageMaking). After a few dead-ends, here's the result:

As noted earlier in thread, now up to them to make it useful. And do tell if there's a better way...
@sebhth
Going to give it a try tomorrow
@electricarchaeo W/o meaning to seem like a stalker... GitHub repo updated to reflect that I can: loop through a selection of amphitheaters in order to make an embedded popup for each that indicates its size in relation to all known sizes.
Folium interactions a little wonky. You sometimes have to click twice. Might depend on window size?

[I think I have now scratched this itch and can get back to work...]
@sebhth i wasn't familiar with folium, bokeh etc, so lots for me to explore. stalk away!
@sebhth that's very cool. I'd like to integrate more pynb etc in my own stuff
@sebhth dang, that sounds like a great goal. do you teach archaeology-plus-digital/computational humanities?
@gekitsu Yes. Course this term was "Mapping and Data Visualization". I teach at a place called "Institute for the Study of the Ancient World" so every DH course has an implicit "for the Ancient World" in its title. http://isaw.nyu.edu .
@sebhth nice! i’m currently in a DH master’s here in würzburg/germany, and writing a python library collecting methods for archery-related calculations. so i’m working mostly from archaeological publications.
most everyone else is doing literary analysis, so it gets a little lonely.
@sebhth that'd be *SOOOOOO* cool.
Hoping to have a version of o-date ready for the fall term, too, so might be useful for your gang.
