| Event handling | |
| ============== | |
| Matplotlib supports :ref:`event handling <event_handling>` with | |
| a GUI neutral event model, so you can connect to Matplotlib events without | |
| knowledge of what user interface Matplotlib will ultimately be plugged in to. | |
| This has two advantages: the code you write will be more portable, and | |
| Matplotlib events are aware of things like data coordinate space and which | |
| axes the event occurs in so you don't have to mess with low level | |
| transformation details to go from canvas space to data space. Object picking | |
| examples are also included. | |
