Bringing Matplotlib to the Browser

Interactive legend plugin
=========================
This is a demonstration of how to add an interactive legend to data plots.
The Plugin is defined within mpld3. The user provides how select/unselect
and legend overlay 
will affect the alpha parameter of associated objects.
You can also control how to initialize the graph: all selected or unselected.
