Fernando,
This information is going to be the preface of my book on using matplotlib
for making an interactive application (sorry, no IPython, the editor wanted
to keep the scope tight). So, what I am looking for are some of the major
interactive features (who supplied them, and their reasons/purpose). Also,
how has interactive matplotlib supported uses "in the wild" such as the
Mars Phoenix Lander and recently, the ISEE3 reboot project (that abandoned
satellite that was recently revived by citizen scientists).
Of, course, any insights to John's original needs/use cases in the early
years would be very valuable as well. I could have sworn he has written
such missives on the mailing lists, but I can't seem to find them.
Cheers!
Ben Root
