Alter neuropixel display script to use ccfwidgets

[rcpeene]

After the problems discussed in issue #42, we've resolved to try and replace the brainrender dependency with ccf widget. This will probably run faster and not crash on binder.

[rcpeene]

I've made these changes and it functions well. There seems to be some broken functionality in ccf widgets with coloring the probe markers. I've made a ticket for for adding functionality #91.

[rcpeene]

This works well except there it does not work on binder. When running the final cell to display the widget I get Error displaying widget: model not found. I believe this is the result of some mismatched dependencies. I will investigate more.

[rcpeene]

I believe this to be an upstream problem with ipympl. I've commented on some existing issues there.

[jeromelecoq]

@rcpeene to write at the top of the notebook in BOLD if there are incompatibilities with binder

[jeromelecoq]

@rcpeene looking into whether there is a dependency issue. Some maintainers of the package provided some guidance. Will copy message here

[jeromelecoq]

@rcpeene will add text to point at running this outside of Binder and close

[rcpeene]

Still working with ipympl on github to figure out a solution. In the meantime, I will add a disclaimer in the relevant notebooks saying it does not work on binder.

[rcpeene]

Disclaimer has been added and pushed to branch neuropixel_probes. PR will be issued.

[jeromelecoq]

Once we finish NIH report, perhaps let's figure out an escape solution

[jeromelecoq]

@rcpeene will ping the team on the issue. If they address it in the days or so, we will incorporate their change otherwise, we should find an alternative way

[jeromelecoq]

A potential solution is to upgrade JupyterHub within binder deployed docker.

[rcpeene]

Filed an issue with ipympl: matplotlib/ipympl#511

[rcpeene]

While this is still probably good to solve, issue #148 serves as a workaround. For binder, but not dandihub. Talking to Satra about getting to work on dandihub.

[rcpeene]

Closing this. Will make a new ticket if ccf-widgets ever makes bugfix
