+# Ipypopout
+
+[![Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/ipypopout.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/project/ipypopout)
+
+Use Ipypopout to display parts of your ipywidgets or solara app in separate browser windows.
+This is especially useful for those working with multiple screens.
+
+Works with:
+
+ * Jupyter notebook
+ * Jupyter lab
+ * Voila (`version<0.5`)
+ * [Solara](https://github.com/widgetti/solara/) (`version>=1.22`)
+
+## Usage
+
+### With ipywidgets
+
+```python
+import ipywidgets as widgets
+from ipypopout import PopoutButton
+
+main = widgets.VBox()
+
+# see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#window_features
+# for window_features
+popout_button = PopoutButton(main, window_features='popup,width=400,height=600')
+
+slider1 = widgets.IntSlider(value=1)
+slider2 = widgets.IntSlider(value=2)
+result = widgets.Label()
+def update_result(_ignore=None):
+ result.value = value=f"Sum of {slider1.value} and {slider2.value} = {slider1.value + slider2.value}"
+update_result()
+
+main.children = (slider1, slider2, result, popout_button)
+slider1.observe(update_result, "value")
+slider2.observe(update_result, "value")
+
+display(main)
+```

+
+
+### With Solara
+
+```python
+import solara
+import plotly.express as px
+import numpy as np
+from ipypopout import PopoutButton
+
+
+freq = solara.reactive(1)
+damping = solara.reactive(0.5)
+
+t = np.arange(0, 100, 0.1)/10
+
+@solara.component
+def Page():
+ target_model_id = solara.use_reactive("")
+
+ y = np.sin(t * 2 * np.pi * freq.value) * np.exp(-t*damping.value)
+
+ with solara.Column():
+ with solara.Card("Controls") as control:
+ solara.SliderFloat("Freq", value=freq, min=1, max=10)
+ solara.SliderFloat("zeta", value=damping, min=0, max=2)
+ if target_model_id.value:
+ PopoutButton.element(target_model_id=target_model_id.value, window_features='popup,width=400,height=300')
+ fig = px.line(x=t, y=y)
+ solara.FigurePlotly(fig)
+ # with solara we have to use use_effect + get_widget to get the widget id
+ solara.use_effect(lambda: target_model_id.set(solara.get_widget(control)._model_id))
+display(Page())
+```
+
+Because Solara creates elements instead of widgets, we have to use the `use_effect`/`get_widget` trick to feed the widget ID to the PopoutButton.

+
+## Installation
+
+```
+$ pip install ipypopout
+```
+
+## API
+
+ * PopoutButton
+ * constructor arguments:
+ * `target - ipywidgets.Widget | None`: The widget that will be shown in the popout window.
+ * `target_model_id - str`: The widget id (defaults to `target._model_id`)
+ * `window_name - str`: If a window with the same name is available it will be reused, otherwise a new window is created (defaults to `target_model_id`).
+ See [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open) for more details.
+ * `window_features - str`: See: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#window_features](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#window_features)
