I am using matplotlib to make scatter plots. Each point on the scatter plot is associated with a named object. I would like to be able to see the name of an object when I hover my cursor over the point on the scatter plot associated with that object. In particular, it would be nice to be able to quickly see the names of the points that are outliers. The closest thing I have been able to find while searching here is the annotate command, but that appears to create a fixed label on the plot. Unfortunately, with the number of points that I have, the scatter plot would be unreadable if I labeled each point. Does anyone know of a way to create labels that only appear when the cursor hovers in the vicinity of that point?

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()

其他答案没有解决我在最新版本的Jupyter内联matplotlib图中正确显示工具提示的需求。这条是可行的:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import mplcursors
np.random.seed(42)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter(*np.random.random((2, 26)))
ax.set_title("Mouse over a point")
crs = mplcursors.cursor(ax,hover=True)

crs.connect("add", lambda sel: sel.annotation.set_text(
    'Point {},{}'.format(sel.target[0], sel.target[1])))
plt.show()

当用鼠标浏览一个点时,会导致如下图所示:

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()

就像Sohaib问的,这是一条直线

似乎这里的其他答案都不能回答这个问题。这是一个代码,它使用散点并在悬停在散点上时显示注释。

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(1)

x = np.random.rand(15)
y = np.random.rand(15)
names = np.array(list("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO"))
c = np.random.randint(1,5,size=15)

norm = plt.Normalize(1,4)
cmap = plt.cm.RdYlGn

fig,ax = plt.subplots()
sc = plt.scatter(x,y,c=c, s=100, cmap=cmap, norm=norm)

annot = ax.annotate("", xy=(0,0), xytext=(20,20),textcoords="offset points",
                    bbox=dict(boxstyle="round", fc="w"),
                    arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="->"))
annot.set_visible(False)

def update_annot(ind):

    pos = sc.get_offsets()[ind["ind"][0]]
    annot.xy = pos
    text = "{}, {}".format(" ".join(list(map(str,ind["ind"]))), 
                           " ".join([names[n] for n in ind["ind"]]))
    annot.set_text(text)
    annot.get_bbox_patch().set_facecolor(cmap(norm(c[ind["ind"][0]])))
    annot.get_bbox_patch().set_alpha(0.4)


def hover(event):
    vis = annot.get_visible()
    if event.inaxes == ax:
        cont, ind = sc.contains(event)
        if cont:
            update_annot(ind)
            annot.set_visible(True)
            fig.canvas.draw_idle()
        else:
            if vis:
                annot.set_visible(False)
                fig.canvas.draw_idle()

fig.canvas.mpl_connect("motion_notify_event", hover)

plt.show()

因为人们还想将这个解决方案用于线状图而不是散点图,所以下面的解决方案将用于图形(其工作方式略有不同)。

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np; np.random.seed(1) x = np.sort(np.random.rand(15)) y = np.sort(np.random.rand(15)) names = np.array(list("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO")) norm = plt.Normalize(1,4) cmap = plt.cm.RdYlGn fig,ax = plt.subplots() line, = plt.plot(x,y, marker="o") annot = ax.annotate("", xy=(0,0), xytext=(-20,20),textcoords="offset points", bbox=dict(boxstyle="round", fc="w"), arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="->")) annot.set_visible(False) def update_annot(ind): x,y = line.get_data() annot.xy = (x[ind["ind"][0]], y[ind["ind"][0]]) text = "{}, {}".format(" ".join(list(map(str,ind["ind"]))), " ".join([names[n] for n in ind["ind"]])) annot.set_text(text) annot.get_bbox_patch().set_alpha(0.4) def hover(event): vis = annot.get_visible() if event.inaxes == ax: cont, ind = line.contains(event) if cont: update_annot(ind) annot.set_visible(True) fig.canvas.draw_idle() else: if vis: annot.set_visible(False) fig.canvas.draw_idle() fig.canvas.mpl_connect("motion_notify_event", hover) plt.show()
