+=================
+Pythreejs Example
+=================
+
+Thebe can display output from pythreejs_. The `examples <https://pythreejs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/>`_ are taken from the
+pythreejs documentation and are licensed BSD 3 Clause.
+
+.. _pythreejs: https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/pythreejs
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+Be sure to load require.js before any of your thebe activation code so that the
+Jupyter widgets can function:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/require.js/2.3.4/require.min.js"></script>
+
+Configure thebe and load it:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <script type="text/x-thebe-config">
+     {
+       requestKernel: true,
+       binderOptions: {
+         repo: "jupyter-widgets/pythreejs",
+         ref: "2.2.1",
+         binderUrl: "https://mybinder.org",
+         repoProvider: "github",
+       },
+     }
+   </script>
+   <script src="https://unpkg.com/thebe@latest/lib/index.js"></script>
+
+Create a button to activate thebe:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <button id="activateButton" style="width: 120px; height: 40px; font-size: 1.5em;">
+     Activate
+   </button>
+   <script>
+   var bootstrapThebe = function() {
+       thebelab.bootstrap();
+   }
+   document.querySelector("#activateButton").addEventListener('click', bootstrapThebe)
+   </script>
+
+Now add code cells between these HTML tags:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <pre data-executable="true" data-language="python"></pre>
+
+Examples
+========
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/require.js/2.3.4/require.min.js"></script>
+   <script type="text/x-thebe-config">
+     {
+       requestKernel: true,
+       binderOptions: {
+         repo: "jupyter-widgets/pythreejs",
+         ref: "2.2.1",
+         binderUrl: "https://mybinder.org",
+         repoProvider: "github",
+       },
+     }
+   </script>
+   <script src="https://unpkg.com/thebe@latest/lib/index.js"></script>
+
+Press the "Activate" button below to connect to a Jupyter server:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <button id="activateButton" style="width: 120px; height: 40px; font-size: 1.5em;">
+     Activate
+   </button>
+   <script>
+   var bootstrapThebe = function() {
+       thebelab.bootstrap();
+   }
+   document.querySelector("#activateButton").addEventListener('click', bootstrapThebe)
+   </script>
+
+Primitive shapes can be displayed:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <pre data-executable="true" data-language="python">
+   from pythreejs import BoxGeometry
+   BoxGeometry(
+       width=5,
+       height=10,
+       depth=15,
+       widthSegments=5,
+       heightSegments=10,
+       depthSegments=15)
+   </pre>
+
+More complex shapes can be constructed and viewed:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <pre data-executable="true" data-language="python">
+   from IPython.display import display
+   from pythreejs import (ParametricGeometry, Mesh, PerspectiveCamera, Scene,
