interactive-figure 0.2.0

Create interactive Matplotlib figures!

Interactive Figure

This package serves for students to learn about Python and basic reaction time experiments (visual search task, Stroop task, etc.). For a more accurate timing environment one should refer to e.g. PsychoPy.

Package created using Hatch.

Installation

pip install interactive-figure

Usage

from interactive_figure import interactive_figure

interactive_figure.create()
# Stall until user input is received.
interactive_figure.wait_for_interaction()
key = interactive_figure.get_last_keypress()
print(f"Pressed key: {key}")
interactive_figure.close()

Demos can be found in the demo folder on GitHub.

Functionality

User interaction:

• Capture key presses, button presses and mouse location

Figure control:

• Create
• Toggle fullscreen

Limitations

Waiting for user input will not work in Jupyter notebooks and the interactive interpreter due to the way Matplotlib handles events.
