start_event_loop(self, timeout=0)
Such an event loop is used by interactive functions, such as ~.Figure.ginput
and ~.Figure.waitforbuttonpress
, to wait for events.
The event loop blocks until a callback function triggers stop_event_loop
, or timeout is reached.
If timeout is 0 or negative, never timeout.
Only interactive backends need to reimplement this method and it relies on flush_events
being properly implemented.
Interactive backends should implement this in a more native way.
Start a blocking event loop.
The following pages refer to to this document either explicitly or contain code examples using this.

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
