[Matplotlib-users] mouse cursor coordinates

[grivet]

Hello,
I would like to go further and, in fact, do the following:

     repeat n times
         click inside a figure
         retrieve and store the pointer coordinates
         show a mark (or circle or whatever) at this point

Thank you for your suggestions
JP Grivet
