Kivy: Matplotlib Integration and algorithms for Ink support and processing

by Andres Vargas for Python Software Foundation

Visualizations is the best way to understand information from documents. Traditional interaction techniques are used to do so. New means of interaction are available. Therefore, I propose to take advantage of Kivy multi-touch support to develop an API that will handle the generation and interaction of matplotlib widgets. In addition I propose an additional class to handle strokes over a canvas. This will allow developers to instantiate graphs and interact directly with gestures over them.
