See this minimal example ``` import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.axvline(.5, picker=6) ax.plot(range(3)) cids = [] plt.draw() def pick(event): thisline = event.artist xdata, ydata = thisline.get_data() print xdata[0] def click(event): print "clicked" cids.append(fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', pick)) cids.append(fig.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', click)) ``` If you turn the zoom/pan tool off the picker works again. I suspect that there is some logic underneath those tools that are snarfing events when the are turned on to avoid messy conflicts. There is some work going on (MEP22 iirc) to update the toolbar and make our tool handling saner.
