Weird. This is essentially what we do, but in our case there's no
problem. I ran your example and experienced the same "outrun"
behavior so I checked to see what was different between yours and
ours.
In ours, we catch the mpl button down event and after establishing a
hit on the legend do:
bbox = self._legend.get_window_extent()
self._dragOffset = (bbox.xmin() - mplEvent.x, bbox.ymin()
- mplEvent.y)
Then in the mousemove event handler we do:
self._moveLegend(mplEvent.x + self._dragOffset[0],
mplEvent.y + self._dragOffset[1])
where self._moveLegend is:
def _moveLegend(self, x, y, autoDraw=True):
height = float(self.figure.bbox.height())
width = float(self.figure.bbox.width())
dx = x/width
dy = y/height
# The following two lines are specific to our implementation
and our internal data classes
self._legendLocation = (dx, dy)
self.plot.getLegend().setLocation(self._legendLocation)
# This is the line that "moves" the legend
self._legend._loc=(dx,dy)
if autoDraw:
self.draw()
Now we're using an ancient version of MPL (0.90.1) and many things
have changed in the meantime. YMMV.
