An interactive plot challenge

The following link should link you to a very interesting graphical display,

   http://www.ecb.int/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/eurofxref-graph-nok.en.html

This type of graphical output (or at least something quite similar) can be found in other web pages that display financial data.

Has anyone been able to produce a similar interactive graphical display using Matplotlib? A challenge for 2012 :slight_smile:

This shouldn’t be too difficult. If you take a look at the event handling examples there are some good starting points. For example, the data browser example does something similar, except you click to select data (you can change this by hooking into ‘motion_notify_event’ instead of ‘pick_event’).

The one difficult part might be displaying your data-point info. Its easy enough to just print out description to a terminal, but I’m not sure how easy it is to display a tooltip. This SO question may help with that.

Best,
