[IPython-dev] datavis with ipython notebook

[Bartosz Telenczuk]

I completely agree, it would be really nice to enable user interaction with the plots in notebooks. If I am not mistaken, Sage has also a similar feature.

I have played with dynamic plots in ipython notebook a bit. The idea is that I add some javascript to SVG generated from matlplotlib (based on an example from matplotlib website). It works well for me (in Firefox and Chrome), but the limitation is that currently one cannot feed the data based on user interaction back to the interpreter.

I attach my sample notebook for testting (when you click on one of text(!) labels: 'rabbit' or 'frog' some bars should disappear)

It that works, ipython will be a great tool for developing infovis.  Any comment on this?  I think I might try a little to whether it is feasible.  Or, is there something like that already?
