Hi,
I have already asked about that but I'm back once again 
The way I use matplotlib may be a corner case:
I'm often looking at large (4k x 4k) images and I do want to see the pixels values moving the mouse over the display.
imshow does a great job but all the backend only display "x= y=".
I would love to see "x= y= Z=" (or "value="...call it the way you want ;))
What is the best way to do that?
imshow is great because there is nothing to connect to see x and y values on the backend.
I need to code something as simple as imshow to get also the pixel values.
Is there really on way to get that as a new option in imshow? at least in one of the backend (as a starting point)
Best Regards,
Xavier

The easiest way I can think of is to override Axes.format_coord
method. A pseudo code might look like below
def report_pixel(x, y):
# get the pixel value
v = get_pixel_value_of_your_image(x,y)
return "x=%f y=%f value=%f" % (x, y, v)
ax = gca()
ax.format_coord = report_pixel
The code will become more complicated if you want to support multiple images.
This solution is far from elegant, but maybe the easiest one.

Thanks it does work but I still wonder why it is not an option in imshow
