Jupyter / Non-blocking Viewing

scene.show() starts a viewer on a background thread and returns immediately, instead of blocking like SimViewLauncher/SimViewServer.run. This is handy in a notebook: evaluating the returned handle as a cell's result embeds the viewer inline via an iframe.

handle = scene.show()  # non-blocking; scene itself is left untouched
handle  # in Jupyter, displays the viewer inline (uses _repr_html_)

# ... do other work, or just let the cell above stay interactive ...

handle.stop()  # or: `with scene.show() as handle: ...` to stop automatically

Pass view (a view-link fragment, built with simview.view_hash) and height to control what the inline viewer opens with, e.g. a fixed time and no UI panels:

from simview import view_hash

scene.show(view=view_hash(t=2.0, ui=False), height=400)

To embed a scene in any web page without a Python server, write a static bundle with scene.save_static("out/"), host it, and open the viewer with view_hash(data="/out") — the bundle must be on the same origin as the viewer page (#data= values pointing at another origin are ignored; see the note in embedding). To pull data from a different origin on purpose, set window.__simviewStaticBase = "https://host/out" in the page before the viewer's scripts load.

See the ViewerHandle API reference for the full behavior.
