11.1 A guiding example to widgets

In this section, we present the basic components11.1 A guiding example to widgets of a widget and their counterparts in Python. We do this by using the guiding example displayed in the following figure:

Figure 11.1: A widget to display  for user-given frequencies

In this figure, we see a slider bar at the top. With the use of a computer mouse, the blue bar can be moved from left to right and the value for , ranging between 1 and 5, is displayed on the right of the bar.

Correspondingly, the frequency of the sine wave displayed in the plot window changes.

This widget consists of three parts:

  • A figure object with an axes object and the plot
  • An axes object containing a slider object
  • A call-back function for updating the plot as soon as the slider value changes

We discussed how to program the first part, in Section 6.2Working with Matplotlib objects directly.

In the following code snippet, we first create a figure with a given size and...
