Changelog

next

• Fix compatibility with Matplotlib 3.9.

0.5.3

• Require Python 3.7 (due to setuptools support ranges); mark Matplotlib 3.7.1 as incompatible.

• Highlights can be removed by right-clicking anywhere on the highlighting artist, not only on the annotation.

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.
