matplotlib是否相当于MATLAB的datacursormode？

Question

在MATLAB中,可以使用datacursormode当用户鼠标悬停时向图形添加注释.在matplotlib中有这样的事吗？或者我需要使用自己的事件来编写matplotlib.text.Annotation？

Answer 1

延迟编辑/无耻插件:现在可以使用(具有更多功能)mpldatacursor.调用mpldatacursor.datacursor()将为所有matplotlib艺术家启用它(包括图像中z值的基本支持等).

据我所知,还没有一个已经实现过,但写一些类似的东西并不难:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

class DataCursor(object):
    text_template = 'x: %0.2f\ny: %0.2f'
    x, y = 0.0, 0.0
    xoffset, yoffset = -20, 20
    text_template = 'x: %0.2f\ny: %0.2f'

    def __init__(self, ax):
        self.ax = ax
        self.annotation = ax.annotate(self.text_template, 
                xy=(self.x, self.y), xytext=(self.xoffset, self.yoffset), 
                textcoords='offset points', ha='right', va='bottom',
                bbox=dict(boxstyle='round,pad=0.5', fc='yellow', alpha=0.5),
                arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle='->', connectionstyle='arc3,rad=0')
                )
        self.annotation.set_visible(False)

    def __call__(self, event):
        self.event = event
        # xdata, ydata = event.artist.get_data()
        # self.x, self.y = xdata[event.ind], ydata[event.ind]
        self.x, self.y = event.mouseevent.xdata, event.mouseevent.ydata
        if self.x is not None:
            self.annotation.xy = self.x, self.y
            self.annotation.set_text(self.text_template % (self.x, self.y))
            self.annotation.set_visible(True)
            event.canvas.draw()

fig = plt.figure()
line, = plt.plot(range(10), 'ro-')
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', DataCursor(plt.gca()))
line.set_picker(5) # Tolerance in points

由于看起来至少有几个人正在使用它,我在下面添加了更新版本.

新版本具有更简单的用法和更多的文档(至少是一点点).

基本上你会使用它类似于:

plt.figure()
plt.subplot(2,1,1)
line1, = plt.plot(range(10), 'ro-')
plt.subplot(2,1,2)
line2, = plt.plot(range(10), 'bo-')

DataCursor([line1, line2])

plt.show()

主要区别在于:a)无需手动调用line.set_picker(...),b)无需手动调用fig.canvas.mpl_connect,c)此版本处理多个轴和多个数字.
