I submitted the 'contains' patch to the patch tracker on sourceforge. I've worked out most of the issues, including selecting lines instead of just points. I still haven't addressed legend picking, and I don't know how to handle line offsets. I'm also unhappy with relying on a cached renderer for some of the size checks (e.g., text extents). One solution is to send this along with the 'contains' test, though that would mean changing the interface to pick. Any other suggestions? In backend_bases.FigureCanvasBase.__init__ there is an "if False" statement. Turn it to True and all objects on every graph will be highlighted as the mouse hovers over them and restored when it moves away. I worked through many of the demos in the repository to check that the various objects are recognized. Sorry about the size of the patch --- I wanted to keep the system in a working state so I had to do everything. Also I spent some time writing __str__ methods for a lot of the artists so that it was easier for me to debug. Let me know if you want these stripped and sent as a separate patch. - Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
