Interactive tools for Matplotlib

Mpltoolbox aims to provide some basic tools (that other libraries such as bokeh or plotly support) for drawing points, lines, rectangles, polygons on Matplotlib figures.

There are many interactive examples in the Matplotlib documentation pages, but the code snippets are often long and potentially not straightforward to maintain.

With mpltoolbox, activating these tools should (hopefully) just be a on-liner.

Installation#

To install Mpltoolbox and all of its dependencies, use

pip install mpltoolbox

conda install -c conda-forge mpltoolbox

Example#

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mpltoolbox as tbx
%matplotlib widget

fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(12, 8))
for ax in axes.flat:
    ax.set_xlim(0, 100)
    ax.set_ylim(0, 100)

points = tbx.Points(ax=axes[0, 0])
lines = tbx.Lines(ax=axes[1, 1])
rects = tbx.Rectangles(ax=axes[0, 1])
ells = tbx.Ellipses(ax=axes[1, 0])
