[Matplotlib-users] svg/image output

[Jeffrey M. <jm...@gm...>]

I'm currently using matplotlib to generate .PNG files, and the
javascript library flot to do point hover & zooming on the same data
(after click through).  Flot is starting to show its age, and I'd like
a little more control.

I'd like to get to only one library generating graphs, so I only have
to change code in one place.   d3.js looks interesting & dynamic, but
I don't want to just replace one javascript library with another. I
may be able to use d3.js to generate the thumbnails.

My other option is to use matplotlib for the clicking & zooming -- If
i use it to generate an svg and then do clicking, zooming, etc on the
svg, am I in for a world of hurt? I see an html5 backend, but that
hasn't been updated in a year.  I also see the svg_histogram example,
but that didn't work cleanly for me.

Thanks,
Jeff
