Description
mpl1.5.1/2.0b2
A minimal mpldatacursor-like module, that adds a single annotation wherever the user left-clicks and removes it upon right click:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ann = None
def cb(event):
global ann
if event.button == 1:
if ann:
ann.remove()
ann = ax.annotate("foo", (event.xdata, event.ydata))
fig.canvas.draw()
if event.button == 3:
if ann:
ann.remove()
ann = None
fig.canvas.draw()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect("button_press_event", cb)
plt.show()
If we want to make the annotation also draggable, we could add ann.draggable() after adding it. But then right-clicking to remove the annotation results in

basically because the button_release callback is called one last time after the annotation has been removed from the axes (and thus annotation.axes is None).
So either the draggable artist should check that it is still valid while executing callback code, or it should disconnect itself upon removal (but there may be some weird race conditions?).
