Instead of returning the mouse click coordinates in the event variable eclick and the release coordinates in erelease it returns the lower left corner in eclick and the upper right corner in erelease. This \"normalization\" reduces the information content and, thus, the usability of the selector. Only using the old version a user can switch to drawmode='line' and use the selector to input a displacement vector. \r\n\r\n\u003c!--Normalization of click and release coordinates is simple and should remain left to the user--\u003e","author":{"url":"https://github.com/alsast","@type":"Person","name":"alsast"},"datePublished":"2017-10-29T10:12:53.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":12},"url":"https://github.com/9608/matplotlib/issues/9608"}
