Hi, Thanks for your reply :
I think I will try and follow your last suggestion by passing a callback function that is defined through another function (this is because the program generates a series of figures that are all similar) : def gen_onselect(ax): def onselect: # do the stuff here that requires to know which axes return onselect and then use span = SpanSelector(ax, gen_onselect(ax), 'horizontal', useblit=True, rectprops=dict(alpha=0.25, facecolor='blue') ) I'll let you know if this works or not.
