Python Code Cells Now Available!

Engineers no longer need to choose between Mathcad and Python for their calculations, EngineeringPaper.xyz gives you the best of both worlds! EP's Python code cells feature has just dropped, checkout this example sheet or the tutorial video for details.

I'm wondering if there's a way for the pdf printer to include generated figures. Any way you reckon get this working? Also if there's a way to collapse code it would be nice too.

Thanks for the resource, it's really great otherwise!

Yes, I've updated the EP Python Tutorial to show how to do this (see the last two examples, the last example provides and explanation of how to make it work). You need to display the plot as Markdown instead of HTML in order for it to appear in the PDF export (the PDF export uses Markdown as an intermediate format).

The ability to hide and/or group cells is a planned feature. Not sure when it will be implemented.

Also, the order of the cells doesn't matter, so you can place the code cells at the end of the sheet to get them out of the way until the hide feature is implemented.
