Interactive pieces of monocle on server

[erkinacar5]

Hello,

I found the below response from a 2 year-old issue. Are there any updates or workarounds for the interactive parts of the monocle for the server? It would be great if the interactive parts work on a server, as many people in our group wants to use them and I would be willing to put some time into this if there is a known fix that I can implement system-wide.

Thank you in advance for your reply :)

Hi Andy,
On the first question, that's going to be the problem - we haven't figured out how to get the interactive pieces of monocle working on servers of any kind (ipython, clusters). 

The idea of the code I gave above is to get assignments to the nearest principle node (basically the points that the black line is tracing). With the number of principal nodes you have it's going to be a pain though... (if there were only a few you could subset the cells based on assignment to those few). 

My (very unsatisfactory) suggestion for the moment is to download your cds someplace local and then use choose_cells to pick the right ones, and then upload your subsetted cds back to the server... This enhancement is on the list, but in the short term I think this is your best bet
