None of the matplotlib interactivity will work, unless you program them. Matplotlibuses different "backends" to offer interactive plots, but the pythonista version uses the image only backend, since it doesn't have TKinter, or other native libraries.

I created a simple pythonista_backend to allow pan/zoom, it may also be possible to extend this to other types of interactions, if you want to tackle it...
