How to draw a region of interest

Hi:

Just stared playing with matplotlib, I want to draw a polygon on top of an image to select a region of interest in the image.
Does anybody have any example or advice on how to interactively draw a polygon with the mouse by placing it's vertices's one click at a time ?
Another case that I have would be just to fill a region with a thick line, searched for a "doodle example" or a "paint example" but could not find them, any advice would be appreciated too.

                                                                      Daniel.

Look in at the widget examples. There is a new Lasso widget for
"doodling" and a RectangleSelector.

Hey guys:

Charlie I did not find your lasso example so I cooked up mine, I attach it.
Can you give me the file name that contains the new Lasso widget for "doodling" ?

This is just the start of the lasso or "region of interest" widget I still have to :
    - fill the region with a color
    - make it work with layers
    - add methods that return the pixel region or the contour coordinates
    - make a nice class

If anybody has made such a widget I would love to see the code, I hate reinventing the wheel.

If there is not such an example such as the lasso tool, can my example be added to the examples ?
What is the process ?

Anyway, I can't believe there is not such a widget, I thought there must be some people that use matplotlib for Digital Image Processing ?
Isn't there ?

Any critique on my code would be appreciated, I have never programed with matplotlib ...

from matplotlib.widgets import Lasso
It might not of made the last release.

This example shows how to use matplotlib to create regions of interest.
I has two modes:
     - the segment mode, each time you click the mouse you can create a line segment
     - the free hand mode, by keeping pressed the right button you can create a iregular contour
The right button closes the loop.
