Hi folks,
mpldatacursor version 0.6 has been released (it's long overdue).
mpldatacursor provides interactive ?data cursors? (clickable annotation
boxes) for matplotlib.
Major Changes in v0.6
Version 0.6 adds:
- Better handling of date-formatted axes.
- ?Popup? text boxes can be interactively hidden by right-clicking
(controllable through the hide_button and display_button kwargs).
- Proper support for twinned axes.
- Better unicode support for the formatter function. Note that this
makes mpldatacursor incompatibile with early 3.x versions (3.0, 3.1, and
3.2). However, it remains compatible with Python >= 3.3 (e.g. 3.3, 3.4, and
3.5) as well as 2.6 and 2.7.
- Annotation boxes will now try to stay visible inside the figure by
default. Specify keep_inside=False to disable this.
- Added basic support for extracting the z-value of 3D artists.
- Made the precision of the default x & y formatting depend on the range
of the axes.
- Full support for interactive IPython notebooks through the nbagg
backend. Note that the performance on the nbagg may be very poor.
- Workarounds for annotation issues in Matplotlib v1.4.3
- Numerous bugfixes (Thanks to everyone for the reports!).
Basic Usage
mpldatacursor offers a few different styles of interaction through the
datacursor function.
As an example, this displays the x, y coordinates of the selected artist in
an annotation box:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from mpldatacursor import datacursor
data = np.outer(range(10), range(1, 5))
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
lines = ax.plot(data)
ax.set_title('Click somewhere on a line')
datacursor(lines)
plt.show()

Installation
mpldatacursor can be installed from PyPi using easy_install/pip/etc. (e.g. pip
install mpldatacursor) or you may download the source and install it
directly with python setup.py install.
Thanks,
-Joe
