Modify Jupyter Notebook

In this article, I will provide some methods to make the jupyter notebook the way you like.

Change the Theme: 

The tool for changing the theme of a jupyter notebook is: jupyter-themes

The command that I use is:

jt -t onedork -f dejavu -fs 14 -nfs 14 -tf dejavu -tfs 14 -dfs 14 -ofs 14 -cellw 88% -T

The meaning of each parameter can be found in the link above. BTW, I like dejavu font.

Wrap the line:

Usually when we write a very long statement, we want it to be wrapped in a certain length limit. We can modify the notebook.json file.

The way to find your directory of notebook.json file is:

jupyter --config-dir

Then you will get the path for directory nbconfig folder, the notebook.json file is inside this folder.

open notebook.json file, then add the following code:

  "MarkdownCell": {
    "cm_config": {
      "lineWrapping": true
    }
  },
  "CodeCell": {
    "cm_config": {
      "lineWrapping": true
    }
  }

save, exit. Your jupyter notebook now have line-wrapping capability!

Add the navigation bar:

Sometimes our jupyter notebook can become very long and messy, so it is very important to have a navigation bar since jupyter doesn't provide this tool, we need to search for it.

The tool that I found is jupyter-navbar.

Install this is very easy:

python setup.py

Then you get a navigation bar in your jupyter notebook.

In the future, if I learn more things about modifying jupyter, I will document them in here.

Good day, bye-bye!

See you in the next article!
