We can call render_image multiple times within a cell now, no threading, no wait.

Code

import nglview as nv
import threading
import time
from ipywidgets import Widget
import pytraj as pt
from nglview.contrib.movie import MovieMaker

v = nv.demo()
v

v.clear()
v.add_rope()
s0 = v.render_image()
v.clear()
v.add_cartoon()
s1 = v.render_image()

s0

s1

cc @jbloom to update your notebooks in dms_struct to use render_image directly in v2.1.0

e.g.:

# cell 1
image = view.render_image()

# cell 2
with open('abc.png', 'wb') as fh:
    fh.write(image.value)

@hainm: This is awesome, thanks so much!

This is the project for which we're using nglview; the idea is that along with the static figure images we can include as figures the dynamic images as well as mybinder links:

We are working on paper right now, interested in being a co-author? Basically, the idea is we are mapping which viral mutations are selected by polyclonal human serum.

Hi, it's my company's policy to prevent me being a co-author. But do feel free to raise any issues here, it's good chance to enhance nglview anyway. Thanks.
