To get the index of the grid you clicked on requires some knowledge of what
artist you are working with.

See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3989 for some brand new
code which makes this easier to implement in a general way.

While we catch up with that you will need to implement your own mapping of
x/y in data space -> i, j See
http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/image_zcoord.html for an example.
