How to retrieve the plotly Figure of a Structure?

[sgbaird]

The visualizations via crystaltoolkit are great. Where is the function that takes a structure as input (along with some kwargs) and returns the plotly Figure? Had some trouble finding it. Maybe I came across it but didn't realize it (e.g. renderables.structure). Interested in the context of janosh/pymatviz#41

Hi @sgbaird,

It doesn't return a Plotly Figure, we have our own customer renderer for Structure objects (which is why they look so nice! 😁).

Currently, a get_scene() object is patched onto the relevant object, e.g. Structure.get_scene() when Crystal Toolkit is imported. See #76 for more discussion of this.

Will close this issue but feel free to re-open if there are further questions. Also, if you are interested in Crystal Toolkit development personally, a manuscript has been drafted but not yet submitted, so we are still in a place where we can add people to the development team if there is a specific contribution planned and started -- I left an announcement up in the README.md for this repo if interested.
