As far as I understand, the "similar" part is not quite true. This example focusses on drawing a cross-hair (free or snapped to data). The mentioned cursor packages add an annotation. I think the meaning of "cursor" is quite different here and there and thus should be clarified.

Actually the wx example linked also does something different; the whole text could be redone. Feel free to push if you have something better.

| Matplotlib to draw the cursor and may be a slow since this requires redrawing | ||

There's also https://matplotlib.org/gallery/widgets/cursor.html which seems like a better builtin version of this example. It should at least be linked.
Given this, do we still need this example here? If so, it's probably only for educational puposes and that should be mentioned.
- Less pyplot, more OO. - Showcase both Cursor implementations. - Misc. cleanups.
