[Matplotlib-devel] Data exploration tools when plotting

[Thomas Caswell]

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mpldatacursor and
http://glueviz.org/en/stable/ might

There is already the mouse position read out, which is not specific to the

If you have a specific application, the tools are there to build it:
