mplcursors

• Fix compatibility with Matplotlib 3.9 and numpy 2.

• Fix disabling multiple key bindings.

• Remove the deprecated Selection.target.index.

• Require Python 3.7 (due to setuptools support ranges); mark Matplotlib 3.7.1 as incompatible.

• Highlights can be removed by right-clicking anywhere on the highlighting artist, not only on the annotation.

• Fix compatibility with Matplotlib 3.6 and with PEP517 builds.

• Non-multiple cursors can now be dragged.

No new features; minor changes to docs.

• Breaking change: index is now a direct attribute of the Selection, rather than a sub-attribute via target. (Selection.target.index has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.)

• Additional annotations are no longer created when dragging a multiple cursor.

• Clicking on an annotation also updates the "current" selection for keyboard motion purposes.

• Disabling a cursor also makes it unresponsive to motion keys.

• Hovering is still active when the pan or zoom buttons are pressed (but not if there's a pan or zoom currently being selected).

• Annotations are now ~matplotlib.figure.Figure-level artists, rather than Axes-level ones (so as to be drawn on top of twinned axes, if present).

• Invisible artists are now unpickable (patch suggested by @eBardieCT).

• The bindings kwarg can require modifier keys for mouse button events.

• Transient hovering (suggested by @LaurenceMolloy).

• Switch to supporting only "new-style" (~matplotlib.collections.LineCollection) ~matplotlib.axes.Axes.stem plots.

• Cursors are drawn with zorder=np.inf.

• Updated dependency to Matplotlib 3.1 (Annotation.{get,set}_anncoords), and thus Python 3.6, numpy 1.11.

• Display value in annotation for colormapped scatter plots.

• Improve formatting of image values.

• The add/remove callbacks no longer rely on Matplotlib's ~matplotlib.cbook.CallbackRegistry. Cursor.connect now returns the callback itself (simplifying its use as a decorator). Cursor.disconnect now takes two arguments: the event name and the callback function. Strong references are kept for the callbacks.

• Overlapping annotations are now removed one at a time.

• Re-clicking on an already selected point does not create a new annotation (patch suggested by @schneeammer).

• ~matplotlib.collections.PatchCollections are now pickable (on their borders) (patch modified from a PR by @secretyv).

• Support ~matplotlib.collections.Collections where ~matplotlib.collections.Collection.get_offset_transform() is not transData (patch suggested by @yt87).

• Support setting both hover and multiple.

• The artist attribute of Selections is correctly set to the ~matplotlib.container.Container when picking a ~matplotlib.container.Container, rather than to the internally used wrapper.

No new features; test suite updated for compatibility with Matplotlib 3.0.

Miscellaneous bugfixes.

• Updated dependency to Matplotlib 2.1 (2.0 gives more information about orientation of bar plots; 2.1 improves the handling of step plots).

• Setting MPLCURSORS hooks Figure.draw <matplotlib.figure.Figure.draw> (once per figure only) instead of plt.show <matplotlib.pyplot.show>, thus supporting figures created after the first call to plt.show <matplotlib.pyplot.show>.

• Automatic positioning and alignment of annotation text.

• Selections on images now have an index as well.

• Selections created on ~matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter plots, ~matplotlib.axes.Axes.errorbar plots, and ~matplotlib.axes.Axes.polar plots can now be moved.

• ~matplotlib.collections.PathCollections not created by ~matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter are now picked as paths, not as collections of points.

• ~matplotlib.patches.Patches now pick on their borders, not their interior.

• Improved picking of ~matplotlib.container.Containers.

• In hover mode, annotations can still be removed by right-clicking.

Miscellaneous bugfixes.

• First public release.
