Alternative is to create a LocationEvent and use the inaxes attribute. Using the LocationEvent class may trigger axes_enter_event and axes_leave_event.\r\n\r\nIn any cases a good documentation on matplotlib's coordinate and how to convert different backends' coordinate to matplotlib, most of the time flip the y axis, is needed.
