Just looked up flot. Was the demo a standalone plotter, or was it
integrated with matplotlib? Given the huge amount of functionality
provided by matplotlib, I think it doesn't make much sense to revert to
something simpler. Perhaps it would be easier if we could hook into the
interactive features of matplotlib itself.
I think the idea was that it would be an alternate backend if people
wanted this functionality. Also apparently at one time the idea was
that the plotting code would be more backend-agnostic, so it would
require some care to back engineer that... but not horrible.
See http://ask.sagemath.org/question/819/a-functional-java-applet-for-2d-plots
and http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5448 for more details, and
perhaps a more current status.
Building an interactive mpl instance would be great; I know nothing
about mpl's capabilities in this regard.

Thanks,
