mpld3

mpld3 is a Python package that adds interactivity to Matplotlib graphics, for enhanced visualization in browsers. It does so by producing [D3.js]( out of the Matplotlib figure.

# first the imports: the matplotlib usuals, plus mpld3
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mpld3

# Now we create a regular matplotlib figure, but we tell mpld3 to display it
plt.plot( [3,1,4,1,5], 'ks-', mec='w', mew=5, ms=20 )
mpld3.display()

# The resulting figure will have interactive pan/zoom controls (lower left)

Scatter Plot With Tooltips
==========================
A scatter-plot with tooltip labels on hover.  Hover over the points to see
the point labels.
Use the toolbar buttons at the bottom-right of the plot to enable zooming
and panning, and to reset the view.
