Pick event demo 2#

Compute the mean (mu) and standard deviation (sigma) of 100 data sets and plot mu vs. sigma. When you click on one of the (mu, sigma) points, plot the raw data from the dataset that generated this point.

Note

This example exercises the interactive capabilities of Matplotlib, and this will not appear in the static documentation. Please run this code on your machine to see the interactivity.
