Duncan M. McGreggor, having programmed with GOTOs in the 1980s, has made up for that through community service by making open source contributions for more than 20 years. He has spent a major part of the past 10 years dealing with distributed and scientific computing (in languages ranging from Python, Common Lisp, and Julia to Clojure and Lisp Flavored Erlang). In the 1990s, after serving as a linguist in the US Army, he spent considerable time working on projects related to MATLAB and Mathematica, which was a part of his physics and maths studies at the university. Since the mid 2000s, matplotlib and NumPy have figured prominently in many of the interesting problems that he has solved for his customers. With the most recent addition of the IPython Notebook, matplotlib and the suite of the Python scientific computing libraries remain some of his most important professional tools.

1. Getting Up to Speed 2. The matplotlib Architecture 3. matplotlib APIs and Integrations 4. Event Handling and Interactive Plots 5. High-level Plotting and Data Analysis 6. Customization and Configuration 7. Deploying matplotlib in Cloud Environments 8. matplotlib and Big Data 9. Clustering for matplotlib Index

Chapter 4. Event Handling and Interactive Plots

This chapter marks the beginning of our transition into specialized topics. While we will continue making references to the preceding overview, the subsequent chapters will focus on taking you deeper into the domain of advanced matplotlib usage.

In this chapter, we will delve into matplotlib events and interactive plots and cover the following topics:

  • A general overview of event-based systems

  • The anatomy of an event loop

  • The GUI toolkit event loop basics

  • Event loops in IPython and matplotlib

  • Event handling in matplotlib

  • Events for mouse, keyboard, axes, figures, and picking

  • Compound events

The material presented here will be pulled from matplotlib's artist and backend layers, and it should provide a nice starting point for the vast world of user interaction in data visualization.

To follow along with this chapter's code, clone the notebook's repository and start up IPython by using the following code:

$ git clone https://github.com/masteringmatplotlib...

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
