The Viewrendered3 plugin can do a pretty fair job of mixing text, code, calculation, and graphics, once you learn how. As an illustration, I am attaching the exported HTML output of one of my projects. The subject is the epidemiology of the COVID pandemic in the US. Specifically, to simulate the time history of cases given some initial parameters.
Now please, don't go nitpicking the model. The purpose was to see how well the simplest possible model could account for the major features of the data. And since there was no way to know or predict what how of the conditions would change over time, those changes could not be accounted for. But it has been illuminating. For example, once there were some estimates for the rise of the Delta variant, the simulation did pretty well at reproducing its rise and fall. I have not extended it into the Omicron period for reasons I won't go into here. The characteristics of the rise and fall of the Delta case counts are shaped by the play between the high infectivity of the variant vs the increasing number of vaccinated people. Apparently I got (with some tweaking) the parameter guesses close enough to get reasonable results. Again, this project was just to see if one could tell how the interplay of the factors plays out, not to create reliable forecasts. At any rate, the project contains explanatory text, mathematical equations representing the model, the Python code implementing it - somewhat rough and ready - and the calculation results in the form of several graphs. The calculations were performed by having VR3 run the code and generate the graphs as files. If you have used Jupyter some of this will seem familiar. Jupyter can do more and can render more quickly. But I would say the rendered output of VR3 is superior, and it is easy to use once you get used to it. The zip files contains the html exported for the project to the system browser and then saved from there, so it should contain everything needed to render the project. Just unzip the zip file and then load the HTML file. If you don't like the dark solarized theme, well, I'm sorry. VR3 has lighter themes that you can use instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
