This example demonstrates how to set a hyperlinks on various kinds of elements.
This currently only works with the SVG backend.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f = plt.figure()
s = plt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
s.set_urls(['http://www.bbc.co.uk/news', 'http://www.google.com', None])
f.savefig('scatter.svg')
f = plt.figure()
delta = 0.025
x = y = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z1 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
Z2 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.5, 0.5, 1, 1)
Z = Z2 - Z1 # difference of Gaussians
im = plt.imshow(Z, interpolation='bilinear', cmap=cm.gray,
origin='lower', extent=[-3, 3, -3, 3])
im.set_url('http://www.google.com')
f.savefig('image.svg')
