[Matplotlib-devel] Call notes 29 Jan

[tune.kamae at gmail.com]

Hi,

I signed up to this group hoping to learn or contribute to interactive Matplotlib.
My interest is to make Matplotlib accessible to the blind students.

I have long been a user of Matplotlib but technically at intermediate level.  I have been playing with the interactive version for about 6 months and trying it out with blind people.

I browsed through Nicolas' tutorial. It is very well written. However I did not find description about the interactive feature.

There are a few document on the interactive Matplotlib. It will be nice if some pages can be spent for the interactive Matplotlib and its use with sound and tts: I am using beeo sound in the "sound" and "winsound" packages and SAPI for TTS). There is an official tutorial at
https://matplotlib.org/users/interactive.html

It will be nice to let readers know features using sound and tts. These features require knowledge on procedure to stop the sound/tts without destroying the session. I end up shutting ipyhton down and restarting.

Regards,

Tune Kamae

Yes, and I can help with the integration as well (the tutorial needs an update anyway).
