[Matplotlib-users] how do you pick the data values from a line that has been zoomed in

[Zultek <zu...@li...>]

Hello All,
I have an issue with the pick event where when the zoom tool is used and
then the pick event is fired, the event.ind returns the number of indexes
which are visible between the zoomed xlim min and max, however the
line.get_xdata() returns all of the xdata values.
The issue is that the index of the xdata and the returned index do not match

here is an example of the output

xbound (0.4049505073424931, 0.66117278529306056) #the xbound values as seen
on the screen
index [33] #the picked index
xdata [ 0.00416667  0.0083      0.0125      0.01673333  0.02093333

xdata[index] [ 0.14323333] ydata[index] [ 0.04673034] #the data returned
from the pick event 

as can be seen the data on the screen is limited to the xbound, and the
picked data is index 33 of the entire xdata (and ydata)

is there a simple command that only picks the data from the xbound values
and not the entire xdata?

pls healp
