Matplotlib makes it easy to generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, error charts, and other kinds of plots, with just a few lines of code. Interactive Applications Using Matplotlib will teach you how to turn your plots into fully interactive applications for data exploration and information synthesis. After being introduced to the plotting library, you'll learn how to create simple figures and come to grips with how they work. After these first steps, we will start work on a weather radar application. Next, you will learn about Matplotlib's event handler to add not only keymaps and mouse actions but also custom events, enabling our radar application to transition from a simple visualization tool into a useful severe storm tracking application, complete with animations and widgets. The book will conclude with enhancements from the GUI toolkit of your choice.

Matplotlib使得生成图、直方图、功率谱、条形图、误差图和其他种类的图变得很容易，只需几行代码。使用Matplotlib的交互式应用程序将教你如何将你的图画变成完全交互式的应用程序，用于数据探索和信息综合。在介绍了绘图库之后，你将学习如何创建简单的图形并掌握它们的工作原理。在这些第一步之后，我们将开始制作一个天气雷达应用程序。接下来，你将学习Matplotlib的事件处理程序，不仅可以添加键盘地图和鼠标动作，还可以添加自定义事件，使我们的雷达应用程序能够从一个简单的可视化工具过渡到一个有用的严重风暴跟踪应用程序，并配有动画和部件。本书将以你所选择的GUI工具包的增强功能作为结尾。
