[Matplotlib-users] Using the lasso tool when file is not main

[Mark B. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm not an expert so please go easy on me. I am using the pyplot lasso
demo, and have got it to work how I would like. I am having a problem,
however, where I cannot get it to work if my python file is not the
main file (where __name__ is not __main__).

I took the part at the bottom in the "if __name__ == '__main__':" and
put it into a class. Everything works fine if I call the class from
within the same file. However, if I call the class from another file,
the graph loads fine but the lasso tool does not work. Troubleshooting
revealed that LassoManager.onpress is not being called when I click
the mouse. Any suggestions are welcome because this is driving me
crazy!
Thanks,
Mark
