Thanks, Tom.
I want to use ginput to draw a straight line on a graph.
The line is used to select a cross-section of a contour plot.
I was afraid it wasn't going to be easy.
Getting to it from the other side, is there a matplotlib widget in the
works where I can type text or numbers in a box? Like the FloatTextWidget
in IPython?
Problem is I want to make a small GUI that includes both a text widget
(which is available in IPython) and a 'select points in graph' widget like
ginput in matplotlib.
