A Sphinx extension that builds an HTML gallery of examples from any set of Python scripts. Check out the documentation for introductions on how to use it and more…
Quickstart
Sphinx-Gallery can be used to generate an example gallery from .py files, for a library, as well as a stand-alone web page showcasing examples of a particular Python package, module, or class.
- Let’s get started with a simple example or check out the
documentation for introductions on how to use it and more…
Install via pip
You can do a direct install via pip by using:
$ pip install sphinx-galleryAdd examples to your docs
Let’s assume simple scenario, you have a Python package with a directory structure like this:
├── doc
│ ├── conf.py
│ ├── index.rst
| ├── make.bat
│ └── Makefile
├── my_python_module
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── mod.py
└── examples
├── plot_example.py
└── README.txt (or .rst)Enable Sphinx-Gallery by adding the following to your doc/conf.py:
extensions = [
...
'sphinx_gallery.gen_gallery',
]
# path to the examples scripts
sphinx_gallery_conf = {
'examples_dirs': '../examples', # path to your example scripts
'gallery_dirs': 'auto_examples', # path to where to save gallery generated output
}Finally just compile your docs as usual. Sphinx-Gallery will generate reST files, adding execution outputs, and save them in auto_examples/. Add a link to auto_examples/index.rst to include the gallery in your documentation.
