As far as I understand, all the events in matplotlib are associated with a single Axes instance (or None). For overlapping multiple axes, the axes with highest zorder is picked up. And a "pick event only works for artists in the associated axes. While this simple approach is okay at least to me, I want to hear from other developers.
For the example above, a workaround is to move the line to the axes of higher zorder. line.remove() ax2.add_line(line) Regards, -JJ On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 5:01 AM, Goyo <goyod...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2010/12/9 C M <cmpyt...@gmail.com>: >> >>> I have created a runnable sample app that demonstrates the problem >> >> Here is a much simpler 10 line sample that doesn't require wxPython and >> demonstrates the problem: you can't pick the red line.
