Dear all,
the new widget/interact functionality is very powerfull in exploring 
data. Some example notebooks can be found. However, the docstring 
documentation is very minimal:

?interact
Docstring:
interact(f, **kwargs)

Interact with a function using widgets.

Can this be extended to something that explains the interact function? 
Or at least include an example?

The same holds for the documentation of the widgets.


Here [1] I can find the widget tutorial. In cell 2 it displays a list of 
all widgets. Can this list be extended with an example of all widgets? 
So one can see directly how they all look like?

Kind regards,
Vasco
