Re: [Matplotlib-users] View datetime corresponding to x coordinate of cursor

[Phil E. <pel...@gm...>]

Sounds like a nice feature if it doesn't already exist. At first glance,
I'd say this was a good candidate for the "low-hanging fruit" label (
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues?labels=low+hanging+fruit&page=1&state=open)
for which we have tickets which have a low matplotlib contribution
experience barrier and a relatively good return on investment (in terms of
time spent).

Please feel free to create an issue on the github tracker & if you're keen,
I'd encourage you to have a go at implementing it.

Cheers,
