Hello John, it was pretty easy to rewrite the (formally

Thanks Martin,
The changes are in CVS
Checking in lib/matplotlib/widgets.py;
/cvsroot/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/widgets.py,v <--
widgets.py new revision: 1.23; previous revision: 1.22
I made a few stylistic changes to use mpl naming conventions and added
your example to examples/widgets/rectangle_selector.py . I also
decided on the name "RectangleSelector" since rubberband won't mean
much to many people.

That's the great thing about using Agg as a common renderer and doing
event handling with the MDE. Folks using other GUI toolkits get to
reuse your work (and contribute to it).
Thanks for the widget!
