A demo of a gallery generated by Sphinx-Gallery

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 checkout 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-gallery "sphinx>=4.0" pillow

Add 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.

Contributing
