Re: [matplotlib-devel] example: wx.ToolTip for MPL axes
Here's an updated version. mpl.use('WXAgg') should come before importing
pylab.

Not sure if this already exists, but here's an example file of how to
get a wx.ToolTip to pop up and report the current mouse position in data
coordinates over a MPL axes. Not sure if it's the best way of doing
this, but it seems to work really well for me. Perhaps it would be
useful to add this to the MPL examples?
Cheers,

Re: [matplotlib-devel] example: wx.ToolTip for MPL axes
And here's yet another refinement. Works around a wx bug (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython/37937/match=tooltip)
that prevents newlines from being recognized in the tooltip string.
Also, disables the tooltip when the mouse moves off of the axes, which
prevents stray tooltips from hanging around.
