Pick event

What I am trying is to plot multiple discontinuous lines.

I know that this approach does not work very well. How about

using LineCollection.

Put all curves into line collection

Use Pick event to get line segment (what function to use ?)

Once I have line segment, get xdata, ydata corresponding to line segment (what function to use ?)

I tied this approach as well

Put all data points into numpy.array and each curve was separated by numpy.nan

It worked but I was getting run-time warning in distance calculations.

Any suggestions how to ?

Regards,

Arek

If you pick one of the curves in the close location to tangancy area, the OnPick function?will be?ececuted twice (2 curves) and will display 2 markers. I want to find the shortest distance from the pick location (mouse coord.) to a discrete point on the curve and?draw?marker on the curve at this location (only one).? See the line with “print lineObj”

Why don't you use:

picker=myTest

in your ax.plot, where

def myTest(artist,mousevnt):
...
return (hit,kwdict)

performs any test you like? Again, this is called separately for every Artist belonging to the Usual Suspects, but you may control whether this is the first line found, then your program just computes the distance, or the second one, then it computes the distance, and discriminates between the two. The properties kwdict passed to your callback will permit to do the rest.
Or, perhaps, the first time the test doesn't do anything, and returns False, and the second time computes both distances, and finds the minimum. You have your "private" access to both lines anyway. The generalization to many lines should be straightforward.
