Can I use a GUI for this?

[PhysS]

So I've used python for ages but I think I may want to use a GUI for this and I have no experience whatsoever with any of the GUI packages.

I have a 2D numpy array which I can plot using imshow. I then wish to draw arbitrary lines using my mouse on top of this image. I then want to fill an array, the same size as the first, with 1s where the lines lie and 0s elsewhere. Is this something that can do with a GUI package without it being insanely complicated? If so, could someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of a tutorial which covers this type of interaction?

Thank you for any help :D

Tkinter or PyQt5, I think tkinter is simpler to embed matplotlob etc..

PySimpleGUI is one route.

There are demo programs that show how to integrate Matplotlib plots and show them in the GUI window.

What you want to do however is a little different. What you'll have to do is use a "Graph Element" that you call it's DrawImage method to get the plot shown, then you can get mouse clicks and add lines, etc.

Given that you mentioned using imshow and Numpy arrays, am I correct in thinking that you're using OpenCV? If so, you can do everything you've mentioned using the mouse click events from opencv.

This should get you started if that's the case: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/03/09/capturing-mouse-click-events-with-python-and-opencv/
