Hi Vicent, I think the following example may help you, althogh their might be a better way:
############################## import matplotlib.pyplot as plt def callback(ax): """ prints mode of toolbar after limits changed e.g. mode : >zoom rect< mode : >pan/zoom< """ print " mode : >%s<" % (plt.get_current_fig_manager().toolbar.mode) ax = plt.gca() ax.callbacks.connect('xlim_changed', callback) ax.callbacks.connect('ylim_changed', callback) plt.show() ###################################### kind regards Matthias On Thursday 03 September 2009 14:07:06 Vicent Mas wrote: > Hi, > > I'm a newbie to matplotlib.
