More on: Enabling focus for figure pieces

OK, I see (kind of, i.e., via the pylab interface) how to do it -
indirectly, i.e., by catching the click-on-figure event, then figuring
out where that event happened and comparing that to the locations of the
figure's pieces - using matplotlib only, so here's hoping that wxmpl has
made it A) more direct (i.e., provided some way to access a figure's
pieces seemingly directly, i.e., without having to figure out where in
the figure those pieces are as an explicit intermediate step), and
thereby B) easier.

Does MPL have some kind of hit-testing built-in? this seems a bit harder than it should be.

I don't' think so....

However, Mplot may be worth a look-see:

http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~newville/Epics/Python/MPlot/

As far as I can tell, it provides a user-editable plot. However, I can't tell with a quick perusal if you can click on an axis and get feedback for that.

It would be nice if wxMPL and MPlot shored a code base, but alas -- they were started independently.
