[matplotlib-devel] "Data cursor" for matplotilb.widgets

[Joe K. <jki...@ge...>]

I've recently been playing around with a widget intended to be similar to
matlab's "data cursor".

Would this be useful for inclusion into matplotlib.widgets?

https://gist.github.com/1659108

At the moment, it doesn't inherit from the base Widget class, but that's
easily changed.

On the other hand, it doesn't fit the model of the rest of the widgets in
that it takes a sequence (or single) artist, instead of an axes instance.

If folks think it would be useful, I can submit a pull request.

Thanks,
-Joe
