How can I create interactive plots using Matplotlib?

How can I create interactive plots using Matplotlib?

You can use the mpl_interactive module or integrate Matplotlib with libraries like mplcursors or plotly for interactivity.

Can you show me a simple example of an interactive plot?

Sure! Here's a basic example using mplcursors:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mplcursors

x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
y = [10, 20, 25, 30]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
sc = ax.scatter(x, y)
mplcursors.cursor(sc)
plt.show()

What if I want to add more features to the plot?

You can customize the plot by adding titles, labels, and even more interactive features like sliders or buttons using matplotlib.widgets.

Are there any performance considerations for large datasets?

Yes, for large datasets, consider using downsampling techniques or libraries like Datashader to improve performance.
