GUI in itself is a very large subject, and each GUI framework/tool kit requires a separate book to cover it holistically. So, a detailed discussion of each of the GUI framework's features is beyond the scope of this book. The objective here is to demonstrate how certain GUI frameworks can leverage Matplotlib's visualization capabilities.
In the previous chapter, we learned how to use events, widgets, and animation using three Graphical User Interface (GUI) frameworks Tkinter, wxPython, and Qt as backends. There, we used these backend GUI only for display purposes, so the same code of Matplotlib could be used across all GUI frameworks, by just switching the backend.
In this chapter, we will learn one more feature of interactive plotting, embedding Matplotlib in GUI, using the same three GUI frameworks. First, we will learn how to leverage a few features of...
