Matplotlib 3.0 Cookbook

How to do it...

The following steps explain how to code the required logic:

1. Set up the data for the plot to be drawn:

t = np.arange(0.0, 1.0, 0.01)s = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)

2. Define the figure and axes:

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

3. Plot the graph:

ax.plot(t, s)

4. Capture the starting time in the str_time variable:

str_time = time()

5. Define the callback function that responds to the mouse move event:

def on_move(event):    if event.inaxes:        print('onmove data coords %.2f %.2f' % (event.xdata,                event.ydata))    elapsed_time = time() - str_time    print('elapsed time', elapsed_time)    if elapsed_time > 10:        print('Closing onmove event after 10 sec')        plt.disconnect(binding_id)

6. Define the callback function that responds to the mouse button press event:
