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.
