[yt-dev] IPython 2.0 widgets

[John Wise]

That's amazing, Nathan!  Nice work showing off some of the new features 
in IPython 2.0.  One small note for people not on unitrefactor... 
"density" -> "Density", and it worked flawlessly.

I think this opens up a lot of interactive possibilities.  Interactive 
volume rendering in a notebook would be my favorite :)  If you could 
have a widget with a transfer function editor, a viewpoint widget, and a 
camera path widget, I'd be golden.  Then once everything looks good, 
then you could have the option to render the HD version.

Cheers,
John
