[matplotlib-devel] Event handling example not working

[Neil C. <nei...@gm...>]

I noticed on the event handling doc page:

mat...@li...

that the draggable rectangle example doesn't work in version 0.98.3.
The rectangle class no longer seems to have the xy property.  If you
replace the current on_press() method in the example with the code
below it seem to work.

    def on_press(self, event):
        'on button press we will see if the mouse is over us and store
some data'
        if event.inaxes != self.rect.axes: return

        contains, attrd = self.rect.contains(event)
        if not contains: return
        xy = self.rect.get_x(),self.rect.get_y()
        print 'event contains', xy
        x0, y0 = xy
        self.press = x0, y0, event.xdata, event.ydata
