来自http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/event_handling/pick_event_demo.html:

from matplotlib.pyplot import figure, show
import numpy as npy
from numpy.random import rand


if 1: # picking on a scatter plot (matplotlib.collections.RegularPolyCollection)

    x, y, c, s = rand(4, 100)
    def onpick3(event):
        ind = event.ind
        print('onpick3 scatter:', ind, npy.take(x, ind), npy.take(y, ind))

    fig = figure()
    ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
    col = ax1.scatter(x, y, 100*s, c, picker=True)
    #fig.savefig('pscoll.eps')
    fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', onpick3)

show()

这个食谱绘制了一个关于选择数据点的注释:http://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/Matplotlib_Interactive_Plotting.html。 这个配方绘制了一个工具提示，但它需要wxPython: matplotlib中的点和线工具提示?

也许这对任何人都有帮助，但我已经改编了@ImportanceOfBeingErnest的答案，以与补丁和类一起工作。特点:

整个框架包含在单个类中，因此所有使用的变量仅在其相关范围内可用。 可以创建多个不同的补丁集吗 将鼠标悬停在补丁上将打印补丁集合名称和补丁子名称 将鼠标悬停在一个补丁上，通过将其边缘颜色更改为黑色来高亮该集合的所有补丁

注意:对于我的应用程序，重叠是不相关的，因此一次只显示一个对象的名称。如果你愿意，可以随意扩展到多个对象，这并不太难。

使用

fig, ax = plt.subplots(tight_layout=True)

ap = annotated_patches(fig, ax)
ap.add_patches('Azure', 'circle', 'blue', np.random.uniform(0, 1, (4,2)), 'ABCD', 0.1)
ap.add_patches('Lava', 'rect', 'red', np.random.uniform(0, 1, (3,2)), 'EFG', 0.1, 0.05)
ap.add_patches('Emerald', 'rect', 'green', np.random.uniform(0, 1, (3,2)), 'HIJ', 0.05, 0.1)

plt.axis('equal')
plt.axis('off')

plt.show()

实现

Mpld3为我解决它。 编辑(新增代码):

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import mpld3

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw=dict(axisbg='#EEEEEE'))
N = 100

scatter = ax.scatter(np.random.normal(size=N),
                 np.random.normal(size=N),
                 c=np.random.random(size=N),
                 s=1000 * np.random.random(size=N),
                 alpha=0.3,
                 cmap=plt.cm.jet)
ax.grid(color='white', linestyle='solid')

ax.set_title("Scatter Plot (with tooltips!)", size=20)

labels = ['point {0}'.format(i + 1) for i in range(N)]
tooltip = mpld3.plugins.PointLabelTooltip(scatter, labels=labels)
mpld3.plugins.connect(fig, tooltip)

mpld3.show()

Mplcursors对我很有用。Mplcursors为matplotlib提供了可单击的注释。它很大程度上受到mpldatacursor (https://github.com/joferkington/mpldatacursor)的启发，具有非常简化的API

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import mplcursors

data = np.outer(range(10), range(1, 5))

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
lines = ax.plot(data)
ax.set_title("Click somewhere on a line.\nRight-click to deselect.\n"
             "Annotations can be dragged.")

mplcursors.cursor(lines) # or just mplcursors.cursor()

plt.show()

这个解决方案适用于悬停一行而不需要单击它:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Need to create as global variable so our callback(on_plot_hover) can access
fig = plt.figure()
plot = fig.add_subplot(111)

# create some curves
for i in range(4):
    # Giving unique ids to each data member
    plot.plot(
        [i*1,i*2,i*3,i*4],
        gid=i)

def on_plot_hover(event):
    # Iterating over each data member plotted
    for curve in plot.get_lines():
        # Searching which data member corresponds to current mouse position
        if curve.contains(event)[0]:
            print("over %s" % curve.get_gid())
            
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('motion_notify_event', on_plot_hover)           
plt.show()

在matplotlib状态栏中显示对象信息

特性

不需要额外的库 干净的情节 没有厂牌和艺人的重叠 支持多艺术家标签 可以处理来自不同绘图调用的艺术家(如scatter, plot, add_patch) 库风格的代码
