If you are a widget author, you can register your widget by doing the following:
- Fork this repository.
- Create a png thumbnail of an interesting plot from your widget that will look good on a retina screen at 350x300 pixels and put this file in the
images
directory of this repository. - Add an entry for your widget in the
_config.yml
file of this repository with the meta data for your widget (copy another entry and modify). Please see below for guidance on the meta data. - Push your changes and create a pull request. To ensure the quality of widgets added to the registry and consistency in how they are displayed, you should expect some amount of discussion during your pull request.
