Re: [Matplotlib-users] Emulating keypress and mouse clicks

[Eric L. <lar...@gm...>]

Just wanted to let people know that I chased down the problem I was having.
The command I was using was working, but I wrongly assumed the coordinate
system was normalized for some reason. Doing things like:

fig.canvas.button_press_event(110, 240, 1, False, None)


works great!


Cheers,

Eric
