SWC skeleton viewers on Colab about brightfield

Lowest hanging fruit (with minimum requirements of Colab supported features) would be static image generation.

One really crude solution is to download the SWC and then upload it to, say, https://neuroinformatics.nl/HBP/morphology-viewer/

AllenSDK Cell Types example code: The Alleneurs plotting SWCs as 2 part mugshot (front and side) via matplotlib

Cell Morphology Reconstructions
The Cell Types Database also contains 3D reconstructions of neuronal morphologies. The data are presented in the SWC format. We'll download a particular cell's reconstrution here.
The AllenSDK contains a module that makes it easier to work with the SWC files.
We can use this data to draw lines between each node and all its children to get a drawing of the cell. We'll do it looking at it from the front and from the side.

If interactivity happens, to sync both mugshot subviews: Linking two similar widgets.
