mplcursors 0.2 release
by Antony Lee Aug. 15, 2018

Aug. 15, 2018

Dear all, I am please to announce the release of mplcursors 0.2. # Description mplcursors provides interactive data selection cursors for Matplotlib. Features include a callback system allowing full customization of the actions when data selection is triggered, and the ability to add a data selection cursor to any preexisting program using Matplotlib by just setting the MPLCURSORS environment variable, without changes to the source code. # Changelog from mplcursors 0.1 to mplcursors 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. - `PathCollection`\s not created by `plt.scatter` are now picked as paths, not as collections of points. - `Patch`\es now pick on their borders, not their interior. - Improved picking of `Container`\s. - In hover mode, annotations can still be removed by right-clicking. Enjoy, Antony Lee

force-pushed to docs repo
by Thomas Caswell Aug. 11, 2018

Aug. 11, 2018

Folks, I made a mistake deploying the 2.2.3 docs and force-pushed a correction. More generally, we should consider squashing that repo down to a handful of commits to see it will reduce the over-all size Tom -- Thomas Caswell tcaswell(a)gmail.com
