following events are recognized
For the location events (button and key press/release), if the
mouse is over the axes, the variable event.inaxes will be
set to the Axes the event occurs is
over, and additionally, the variables event.xdata and
event.ydata will be defined. This is the mouse location
in data coords. See
KeyEvent and
MouseEvent for more info.
Return value is a connection id that can be used with
mpl_disconnect().
Example usage:
def on_press(event):
print('you pressed', event.button, event.xdata, event.ydata)

backend_bases.Timer. This is useful for getting periodic
events through the backend’s native event loop. Implemented only for
backends with GUIs.

fire off PickEvent callbacks registered listeners
print_figure(filename, dpi=None, facecolor=None, edgecolor=None, orientation='portrait', format=None, **kwargs)¶Render the figure to hardcopy. Set the figure patch face and edge colors. This is useful because some of the GUIs have a gray figure face color background and you’ll probably want to override this on hardcopy.
Arguments are:
release_mouse(ax)¶Release the mouse grab held by the axes, ax. Usually called by the widgets. It is ok to call this even if you ax doesn’t have the mouse grab currently.
resize(w, h)¶set the canvas size in pixels
resize_event()¶This method will be call all functions connected to the
‘resize_event’ with a ResizeEvent
scroll_event(x, y, step, guiEvent=None)¶Backend derived classes should call this function on any scroll wheel event. x,y are the canvas coords: 0,0 is lower, left. button and key are as defined in MouseEvent.
This method will be call all functions connected to the
‘scroll_event’ with a MouseEvent instance.
set_window_title(title)¶Set the title text of the window containing the figure. Note that this has no effect if there is no window (e.g., a PS backend).
start_event_loop(timeout)¶Start an event loop. This is used to start a blocking event loop so that interactive functions, such as ginput and waitforbuttonpress, can wait for events. This should not be confused with the main GUI event loop, which is always running and has nothing to do with this.
This is implemented only for backends with GUIs.
start_event_loop_default(timeout=0)¶Start an event loop. This is used to start a blocking event loop so that interactive functions, such as ginput and waitforbuttonpress, can wait for events. This should not be confused with the main GUI event loop, which is always running and has nothing to do with this.
This function provides default event loop functionality based on time.sleep that is meant to be used until event loop functions for each of the GUI backends can be written. As such, it throws a deprecated warning.
Call signature:
start_event_loop_default(self,timeout=0)
This call blocks until a callback function triggers stop_event_loop() or timeout is reached. If timeout is <=0, never timeout.
stop_event_loop()¶Stop an event loop. This is used to stop a blocking event loop so that interactive functions, such as ginput and waitforbuttonpress, can wait for events.
This is implemented only for backends with GUIs.
stop_event_loop_default()¶Stop an event loop. This is used to stop a blocking event loop so that interactive functions, such as ginput and waitforbuttonpress, can wait for events.

print('on pick line:', np.array([xdata[ind], ydata[ind]]).T)
cid = fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', on_pick)
matplotlib.backend_bases.RendererBase¶Bases: object
An abstract base class to handle drawing/rendering operations.
The following methods must be implemented in the backend for full
functionality (though just implementing draw_path() alone would
give a highly capable backend):
The following methods should be implemented in the backend for optimization reasons:
close_group(s)¶Close a grouping element with label s
Is only currently used by backend_svg
draw_gouraud_triangle(gc, points, colors, transform)¶Draw a Gouraud-shaded triangle.
points is a 3x2 array of (x, y) points for the triangle.
colors is a 3x4 array of RGBA colors for each point of the triangle.
transform is an affine transform to apply to the points.
draw_gouraud_triangles(gc, triangles_array, colors_array, transform)¶Draws a series of Gouraud triangles.
points is a Nx3x2 array of (x, y) points for the trianglex.
colors is a Nx3x4 array of RGBA colors for each point of the triangles.
transform is an affine transform to apply to the points.
draw_image(gc, x, y, im, transform=None)¶Draw an RGBA image.
GraphicsContextBase instance with clipping information.option_scale_image() returns True, an affine
transformation may be passed to draw_image(). It takes the
form of a Affine2DBase instance.
The translation vector of the transformation is given in physical
units (i.e., dots or pixels). Note that the transformation does not
override x and y, and has to be applied before translating
the result by x and y (this can be accomplished by adding x
and y to the translation vector defined by transform).draw_markers(gc, marker_path, marker_trans, path, trans, rgbFace=None)¶Draws a marker at each of the vertices in path. This includes all vertices, including control points on curves. To avoid that behavior, those vertices should be removed before calling this function.
GraphicsContextBase instanceThis provides a fallback implementation of draw_markers that
makes multiple calls to draw_path(). Some backends may
want to override this method in order to draw the marker only
once and reuse it multiple times.
draw_path(gc, path, transform, rgbFace=None)¶Draws a Path instance using the
given affine transform.
draw_path_collection(gc, master_transform, paths, all_transforms, offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors, edgecolors, linewidths, linestyles, antialiaseds, urls, offset_position)¶Draws a collection of paths selecting drawing properties from the lists facecolors, edgecolors, linewidths, linestyles and antialiaseds. offsets is a list of offsets to apply to each of the paths. The offsets in offsets are first transformed by offsetTrans before being applied. offset_position may be either “screen” or “data” depending on the space that the offsets are in.
This provides a fallback implementation of
draw_path_collection() that makes multiple calls to
draw_path(). Some backends may want to override this in
order to render each set of path data only once, and then
reference that path multiple times with the different offsets,
colors, styles etc. The generator methods
_iter_collection_raw_paths() and
_iter_collection() are provided to help with (and
standardize) the implementation across backends. It is highly
recommended to use those generators, so that changes to the
behavior of draw_path_collection() can be made globally.
draw_quad_mesh(gc, master_transform, meshWidth, meshHeight, coordinates, offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors, antialiased, edgecolors)¶This provides a fallback implementation of
draw_quad_mesh() that generates paths and then calls
draw_path_collection().
draw_tex(gc, x, y, s, prop, angle, ismath='TeX!', mtext=None)¶draw_text(gc, x, y, s, prop, angle, ismath=False, mtext=None)¶Draw the text instance
GraphicsContextBase instancematplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties instancematplotlib.text.Text instancebackend implementers note
When you are trying to determine if you have gotten your bounding box right (which is what enables the text layout/alignment to work properly), it helps to change the line in text.py:
if 0: bbox_artist(self, renderer)
to if 1, and then the actual bounding box will be plotted along with your text.
flipy()¶Return true if y small numbers are top for renderer Is used
for drawing text (matplotlib.text) and images
(matplotlib.image) only
get_canvas_width_height()¶return the canvas width and height in display coords
get_image_magnification()¶Get the factor by which to magnify images passed to draw_image().
Allows a backend to have images at a different resolution to other
artists.
get_texmanager()¶return the matplotlib.texmanager.TexManager instance
get_text_width_height_descent(s, prop, ismath)¶get the width and height, and the offset from the bottom to the
baseline (descent), in display coords of the string s with
FontProperties prop
new_gc()¶Return an instance of a GraphicsContextBase
open_group(s, gid=None)¶Open a grouping element with label s. If gid is given, use
gid as the id of the group. Is only currently used by
backend_svg.
option_image_nocomposite()¶override this method for renderers that do not necessarily always want to rescale and composite raster images. (like SVG, PDF, or PS)
option_scale_image()¶override this method for renderers that support arbitrary affine
transformations in draw_image() (most vector backends).
points_to_pixels(points)¶Convert points to display units
return points converted to pixels
You need to override this function (unless your backend doesn’t have a dpi, e.g., postscript or svg). Some imaging systems assume some value for pixels per inch:
points to pixels = points * pixels_per_inch/72.0 * dpi/72.0
start_filter()¶Used in AggRenderer. Switch to a temporary renderer for image filtering effects.
start_rasterizing()¶Used in MixedModeRenderer. Switch to the raster renderer.
stop_filter(filter_func)¶Used in AggRenderer. Switch back to the original renderer. The contents of the temporary renderer is processed with the filter_func and is drawn on the original renderer as an image.
stop_rasterizing()¶Used in MixedModeRenderer. Switch back to the vector renderer and draw the contents of the raster renderer as an image on the vector renderer.
strip_math(s)¶matplotlib.backend_bases.ResizeEvent(name, canvas)¶Bases: matplotlib.backend_bases.Event
An event triggered by a canvas resize
In addition to the Event attributes, the following event
attributes are defined:

Optional overrides:
_timer_set_single_shot: Code for setting the timer to single shot operating mode, if supported by the timer object. If not, theTimerclass itself will store the flag and the_on_timermethod should be overridden to support such behavior._timer_set_interval: Code for setting the interval on the timer, if there is a method for doing so on the timer object._on_timer: This is the internal function that any timer object should call, which will handle the task of running all callbacks that have been set.
