Testing of interactive functions

Hello,

We just got an exciting PR in scikit-image to do manual image segmentation with matplotlib:
https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/2584

The manual_lasso_segmentation function in particular is astoundingly simple ? a testament to the ease of use of the mpl interactive bindings. Thanks!

Because it relies on interactive clicking and click-and-dragging after a blocking call to plt.show(block=True), though, it?s tricky if not impossible to test. I?m wondering whether mpl has a testing framework for the interactive components?

Juan.

PS: Also, the layout of the undo button is a bit tricky? If you have any tips for that, we are all ears! =)

interactivity.

Here is something I did several years ago to have reproducible
interactivity for testing purposes. It was limited to GTK, and there are
probably better ways to do it now, but it is something.
