generate gallery with already existing generated files

[lazarusA]

I have this site:

https://beautiful.makie.org/dev/

where are examples are already generated. They are generated here in the examples/ folder. Is there a way in which I could use this library to simply generated an overview gallery at the home level.

Best,
L.

Thanks @lazarusA for your question.

mkdocs-gallery is a clone of sphinx-gallery for mkdocs. So if they support this I would happily do the same (or maybe I already do but I dont know it). I looked into https://sphinx-gallery.github.io/stable/advanced.html but it does not seem to be described as a use case.

Therefore I guess that the easiest way for you to move forward would be simply to copy part of what is done here:

mkdocs-gallery/src/mkdocs_gallery/gen_single.py

Line 406 in 48a96bd

def generate(gallery: GalleryBase, seen_backrefs: Set) -> Tuple[str, str, str, List[GalleryScriptResults]]:

In particular look at the thumbnails generation part.

Sorry, this is maybe not as easy as you would expect but I cant' come up with something else for now
