`matplotlib.widgets`#

Widgets that are designed to work for any of the GUI backends.

All of these widgets require you to predefine an Axes instance and pass that as the first parameter. Matplotlib doesn't try to be too smart with respect to layout -- you will have to figure out how wide and tall you want your Axes to be to accommodate your widget.
