[Matplotlib-users] selecting points inside plot

[Jean-Philippe Grivet]

Hi
Thank you for the very interesting refeerences.  However, I find that 
the various programs are rather
involved and that they do not exactly answer my needs. The simplest 
program is probably the following
(from the boook by B. Root). It seems to be a step in the right direction!

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def process_key(event):
     print("Key:", event.key)
def process_button(event):
     print("Button:", event.x, event.y, event.xdata, event.ydata, 
event.button)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('key_press_event', process_key)
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', process_button)
plt.show()

So now, how do I retrieve the values event.xdata, event.ydata s(everal 
times) in
order to use them in the main program ? (By the way, this is pretty easy
in Matlab: the function xclick the mouse coordinates and index of the 
button
pressed).
Thank you soluch for your help.
