Dear all,

I have a little problem on understanding how to move an annotation on a plot.

My idea is to make a plot where some informations follow the cursor when moving on the data, like you can see in plots from piwik ( http://piwik.org/demo )

In the script in attachment, I can follow the cursor coordinate, change the text of the annotation, but I cannot move it.

I tried several things, but none worked.

If you have any advices, I would be very happy.

=============================
Script : try_move_annotate.py
=============================
import numpy
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def on_motion(event):
if event.inaxes:
print "before setting position : "
print this_annotation.get_position()
this_annotation.set_text('coordinate : ' + str(event.x) + ' ' + str(event.y))
this_annotation.set_position((event.x, event.y))
print "after setting position : "
print this_annotation.get_position()
ax.draw_artist(this_annotation)
plt.draw()

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

ax.plot(range(10), range(10))
this_annotation = ax.annotate("coordinate : ",
xy = (100,100),
xycoords = 'figure pixels',
horizontalalignment = 'left',
verticalalignment = 'top',
fontsize = 20,
fontweight = 'bold',# animated=True,
bbox = dict(boxstyle="round", fc='black', ec="0.5", alpha=0.5)
)

fig.canvas.mpl_connect('motion_notify_event', on_motion)
plt.show()
==========
END Script
==========
