Welcome to mpl-playback’s documentation!#

A library to record and then playback user interactions with a Matplotlib figure. Also integrates with sphinx-gallery by providing a custom scraper so docs using widgets will render showing the interactions. See this in action in the :doc:Gallery <gallery/index>.

Inspired by discussions here: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/19222

Installation#

pip install mpl-playback

Note

If you are using for your sphinx-gallery docs build you should pin the version of mpl-playback.

Q: Should you use this?#

A: Depends on what you want. For one off gifs of interactions it’s almost certainly easier to just record your screen to make a gif. But if you want integration with sphinx-gallery then this is currently the only option.
