<h3>GUI Neutral widgets<a class="headerlink" href="#gui-neutral-widgets" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Widgets that are designed to work for any of the GUI backends.
All of these widgets require you to predefine an <a class="reference internal" href="axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes" title="matplotlib.axes.Axes"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">matplotlib.axes.Axes</span></tt></a>
instance and pass that as the first arg. matplotlib doesn’t try to
be too smart with respect to layout – you will have to figure out how
wide and tall you want your Axes to be to accommodate your widget.</p>

<p><em>spancoords</em> is one of ‘data’ or ‘pixels’. If ‘data’, <em>minspanx</em>
and <em>minspanx</em> will be interpreted in the same coordinates as
the x and y axis. If ‘pixels’, they are in pixels.</p>
<p><em>button</em> is a list of integers indicating which mouse buttons should
be used for rectangle selection. You can also specify a single
integer if only a single button is desired. Default is <em>None</em>,
which does not limit which button can be used.</p>
