[Matplotlib-users] Removing picked line

[Ole S. <ole...@gm...>]

Hi again,

when right-clicking on one or more lines in a plot, I want to present
the user a context menu where he can select to remove these lines.

Preferrably I want to do this not with a 'pick_event' connection but
with the (Qt) backend methods since the context menu should contain more
options (which shall be shown also when right-clicking on the diagram
background).

Unfortunately, I have no idea, how to do this. At first, I found only
the pick_event() which responds to a left mouse click. Is there a way to
get the Line2D instances that would be picked by specifying the mouse
position?

At second, if I have a Line2D instance: how can I remove it from the
axes?

Best regards

Ole
