Changelog

0.5.2

  • Fix compatibility with Matplotlib 3.6 and with PEP517 builds.

  • Non-multiple cursors can now be dragged.

0.5.1

No new features; minor changes to docs.

0.5

  • Breaking change: index is now a direct attribute of the Selection, rather than a sub-attribute via target. (Selection.target.index has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.)

  • Additional annotations are no longer created when dragging a multiple cursor.

  • Clicking on an annotation also updates the “current” selection for keyboard motion purposes.

  • Disabling a cursor also makes it unresponsive to motion keys.

  • Hovering is still active when the pan or zoom buttons are pressed (but not if there’s a pan or zoom currently being selected).

  • Annotations are now Figure-level artists, rather than Axes-level ones (so as to be drawn on top of twinned axes, if present).

0.4

  • Invisible artists are now unpickable (patch suggested by @eBardieCT).

  • The bindings kwarg can require modifier keys for mouse button events.

  • Transient hovering (suggested by @LaurenceMolloy).

  • Switch to supporting only “new-style” (LineCollection) stem() plots.

  • Cursors are drawn with zorder=np.inf.

0.3

  • Updated dependency to Matplotlib 3.1 (Annotation.{get,set}_anncoords), and thus Python 3.6, numpy 1.11.

  • Display value in annotation for colormapped scatter plots.

  • Improve formatting of image values.

  • The add/remove callbacks no longer rely on Matplotlib’s CallbackRegistry. Cursor.connect now returns the callback itself (simplifying its use as a decorator). Cursor.disconnect now takes two arguments: the event name and the callback function. Strong references are kept for the callbacks.

  • Overlapping annotations are now removed one at a time.

  • Re-clicking on an already selected point does not create a new annotation (patch suggested by @schneeammer).

  • PatchCollections are now pickable (on their borders) (patch modified from a PR by @secretyv).

  • Support Collections where get_offset_transform() is not transData (patch suggested by @yt87).

  • Support setting both hover and multiple.

  • The artist attribute of Selections is correctly set to the Container when picking a Container, rather than to the internally used wrapper.

0.2.1

No new features; test suite updated for compatibility with Matplotlib 3.0.

Miscellaneous bugfixes.

0.2

  • Updated dependency to Matplotlib 2.1 (2.0 gives more information about orientation of bar plots; 2.1 improves the handling of step plots).

  • Setting MPLCURSORS hooks Figure.draw (once per figure only) instead of plt.show, thus supporting figures created after the first call to plt.show.

  • Automatic positioning and alignment of annotation text.

  • Selections on images now have an index as well.

  • Selections created on scatter() plots, errorbar() plots, and polar() plots can now be moved.

  • PathCollections not created by scatter() are now picked as paths, not as collections of points.

  • Patches now pick on their borders, not their interior.

  • Improved picking of Containers.

  • In hover mode, annotations can still be removed by right-clicking.

Miscellaneous bugfixes.

0.1

  • First public release.
