mpl_widget_box

A simple gui widgets for matplotlib with a legend-like layout.

While Matplitlib does support gui-neutral widgets that work for any of the GUI backends, it doesn't try to be too smart with respect to layout. The mpl_widget_box try to be smarter using the OffsetBox that powers Matplotlib's legends and annotations.

Features

• Gui-neutral widgets for Matplotlib
• Layout behavior similar to legends.
• Widgets are designed to minimize screen real estate when needed (e.g., tooltips, dropdowns, popups, collapsable menu.).
• Uses FontAwesome icons
• Some of the Original Matplotlib's widgets are incorporated (e.g., Slider)
• A single callback function that is called for any button-press events.

A Simple Example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from mpl_widget_box import (widgets as W,
                            install_widgets_simple)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([0, 1])

# Widgets to be added.
widgets = [
    W.Label("lbl", "Label"),
    W.Button("btn", "Button"),
]

# A callback function which will be bound to any button-press event.
def cb(wbm, ev, status):
    if ev.wid == "btn":
        print("Button is pressed.")

install_widgets_simple(ax, widgets, cb)

plt.show()
