Can now force offscreen rendering, so the gallery is being generated.

Current issue is figuring out how to format the index.rst and conf.py in order to properly display the gallery.

1. For some reason the dropdown for all the examples only gets placed on the last one
   
2. The thumbnails are being displayed weird

@clewis7 remove the "nbsphinx", it seems to create some conflicts

sphinx-gallery/sphinx-gallery#1195

@kushalkolar Like Edo said, in order to use sphinx-gallery we would need to remove nbsphinx. Pitfall of this is that then the quickstart.ipynb will not render...

That's ok, specific examples are more important.

This is great 😄 !

Some things:

Can you pre-download the images in conf.py so we dont get this:

Also need to figure out how to properly set the canvas size so that when the screenshots are taken we don't have that huge blank space.

Can you check how we can have animated examples, like pygfx: https://pygfx.com/stable/_gallery/introductory/cube.html#sphx-glr-gallery-introductory-cube-py

We can show some of the animations from quickstart, and I guess if you tag it with "test_examples = false" it will generate sphinx gallery docs with that example but not use it for the test suite? Since we don't want animation examples to run with screenshot tests (at least not yet, maybe later 😄 )

NOTE:
sphinx-gallery doesn't have the namespace __file__, so in the scatter/ examples will need to change how the path to the iris.npy data is loaded so that gallery can be generated properly and tests will still run without using __file__ or os.getcwd()

TODO:

• fix canvas size so thumbnails/images don't have large white space
• add more animation examples

After this I propose:

1. get rid of quickstart.ipynb, replace with a guide in the docs
2. get rid of any example nbs that are in the examples gallery, except for the selector tools?
3. what about moving all example nbs to the examples gallery and having just a few example nbs? Like ImageWidget, selector tools, and maybe one simple one that shows layouting with VBox/HBox and a few graphics?

This sounds good to me, and doable before FENS

A few event examples too, click event that changes colors of closest circle, and another example where changing a feature prints the event attributes and event.info.

I added a simple event example but I am going to hold off adding any more examples until we merge this with graphic features PR

@kushalkolar merged main and updated...should be ready for review :D

This example seems like it's missing from the gallery 🤔 https://github.com/fastplotlib/fastplotlib/blob/main/examples/desktop/line_collection/line_stack_3d.py

ahhh, wasn't rendering properly because of the canvas size

I found that the canvas size needs to be (700, 560)...sphinx-gallery likes that best

yayyyy! @kushalkolar
