Is it possible to implement the following style of graph in Python?

I specifically require being able to hover (or click) on a data point and the whole line is then highlighted while the others are made dull.

    Yes, with Bokeh. This question should never have been closed (@vaultah, Jack Maney, l4mpi, Burhan Khalid, Odedra). The question was clearly asking how to get the interactivity. The question is well-defined, on-topic and not "too broad". +1 Commented Mar 23, 2015 at 6:26
  • Dan: do you want this in the browser, or in a standalone Python session? Commented Mar 23, 2015 at 6:31

Yes! Matplotlib is probably your best bet, although there are also a lot of newer libraries such as Bokeh with similar functionalities.

See this question for more detail on how to use Matplotlib and this one, for a better hover implementation.

Here's a great walk-through of a variety of options for making this sort of graph: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/msund/11349097

Disagree. For interactive and on the web Bokeh is almost certainly a better choice.
Yes, now that Bokeh has had two years to mature, that is probably true.
