The mouse event object already has display coords attached in the event.x and event.y attributes. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/backend_bases_api.html#matplotlib.backend_bases.LocationEvent and http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/event_handling.html But to answer your question about matplotlib transforms. You could do ax = event.inaxes # the axes the event occurred in x, y = ax.transData.transform_point((event.xdata, event.ydata)) and you should get the same answer.
