@jamesdamillington the proof of the notebook is ready for your revision.

Please feel free it the Netlify preview box above or click here.

To reduce the length of the notebook, all cells with static/interactive plots and others with considerable code have the Click to show button. Note this only hides cells in the html version and not when you open the file in Binder or locally.

Please confirm and provide comments where necessary:

• Does the proof match the original and revised content of the notebook?
• Are Binder and RoHub badges within the preview working?
• Are the proposed Click to show buttons ok for you? If not, which ones do you suggest removing?

(optional) @annefou @aedebus can you confirm if you have any comments of the proof?

[jamesdamillington]

@acocac Thanks for all your work pulling the proof together! It all looks good to me except for one thing: in Section 3 the Tip box says

We could also do an interactive plot with hvplot for Pandas data (not shown here to reduce notebook filesize - uncomment to run yourself).

But the code was not commented and so the interactive plot does show in the notebook...

We should either remove the Tip box (preferable I think) or comment the code out and re-compile so the hvplot doesn't appear.

Everything else looks okay (Binder takes a long time to boot but once it has, everything seems to work okay)

@jamesdamillington thanks for the quick reply!
I'm keeping the tip box, and just rephrasing the tip to:
We could also do an interactive plot with hvplot for Pandas data (see the cell below).
Let me fix it now!

[acocac]

@jamesdamillington can you double check the preview? it should have the suggested change in the tip box.

May I ask if you can complete the checkbox of my previous comment. This is a sort of final confirmation that the notebook is ok to go (:

[jamesdamillington]

Hi @acocac Thanks for the edit. Everything looks great and good to go, but how do I check the boxes?

Cool - Thanks for confirming all looks good to you! Regarding the checking boxes, you can copy them into a new comment and check them in case you cannont click-on each of them at my comment.

Excellent.

@acocac

Cool - thanks for confirming all is ok.

Apart from the nice and well-documented sections of the notebook, I've learnt how to properly cross-reference them which would be a very useful tip to recommend in the WIP PR#115 on improved guidelines.

I hope the publication process has been a positive experience for you and reviewers!
