[Matplotlib-users] View datetime corresponding to x coordinate of cursor

Several backends will show you the x and y float values that correspond to the current cursor position in a plot() but are there backends that show the _datetime_ corresponding to the x position if the plotted data is a time series (e.g. a pandas.Series object with a DatetimeIndex)? Regards, Will

[Matplotlib-users] Black and white mode
