    The interactive viewer allows you to pan, zoom, and see plot coordinates
    on mouse hover.

    Example:
        ```python
        plt.plot([1, 2])
        # plt.gcf() gets the current figure
        mo.mpl.interactive(plt.gcf())
        ```

    Args:
        figure (matplotlib Figure or Axes): A matplotlib `Figure` or `Axes` object.

    Returns:
        Html: An interactive matplotlib figure as an `Html` object.
