[Matplotlib-users] Bug in matplotlib.patches' contains() method?

[Jorge S. <jor...@ya...>]

Hi,
I was trying to find out when a button_press_event happened inside a patch
(tried Circle and Rectangle) using the contains(mouseevent) method, but it
always seem to return True. I got the inspiration from the looking_glass.py
example, which also doesn't work as (Ithink) it should. I know Ican do this the
hard way, i.e. checking with event.xdata event.ydata, but I was really happy
there was already a pre-defined method for doing so.

Cheers,

Jorge
