Creating animated and interactive plots

There are a few tools for interactive plots that one may choose from, such as Bokeh, Plotly, and VisPy.

Bokeh allows you to plot matplotlib objects via JavaScript, which enables the interactive part easily. For instance, if one needs a map plot that is interactive, Bokeh can be used. Bokeh uses JavaScript and enables D3.js style plots and targets the visualization via modern web browsers. Bokeh delivers good performance over a large dataset. You can easily install bokeh either via conda or pip, as shown in the following code:

conda install bokeh
   OR
pip install bokeh

import collections 

from bokeh.sampledata import us_counties, unemployment
from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_file
from bokeh.models import HoverTool

county_coordinate_xs=[
us_counties.data[code]['lons'] for code in us_counties.data
if us_counties.data[code]['state'] == 'ca'
]
county_coordinate_ys=[
us_counties.data[code]['lats'] for code in us_counties.data
if us_counties...
