A good use case of this is a nested zoom functionality - I often use the
following code to implement a simple nested zoom to look at areas of
figures while flipping through a large series of figures (i.e., in cases
where stopping and restarting the code is a bit awkward):
while True:
x = ginput(2)
if len(x)<2: break
x.sort(0)
axis(x.T.ravel())
Another use is drawing a contour as you click points.
I am still thinking that changing the default timeout to -1 is a good
idea - this agrees with matlab and forces the naive user to choose fewer
points rather than inadvertantly letting it happen.
Cheers,
David
