Design Philosophy

Although Javis.jl is constantly being improved and made better, our design philosophy remains largely the same with only few changes happening to it. We use Object-Action paradigm for creating visualizations. Furthermore, details on our philosophy can be found here: Design Mission and Philosophy

Installation

To install Javis into your Julia installation, type into your Julia REPL the following:

julia> ] add Javis

That’s all there is to it! 😃

Optional Dependency

Javis supports LaTeX and currently we need this node dependency for it. We are looking forward to the time when everything can be handled by Julia.

npm install -g mathjax-node-cli

If you don’t need LaTeX, there is no reason to install this :wink:

Acknowledgements

We want to thank a couple of people who helped make this possible.
