I have question and want to see if it can be realized in wxpython. I would like to plot data on wxpython, and then use the mouse to select some points which are plotted, using the mouse. At the moment i am using wx.lib.plot and using the PlotMarker

Is there a way of doing this with wx.lib.plot or do i have to use another graph library

Regards!

Probably what you want can be done more conveniently using matplotlib (matplotlib canvas can be itself embedded in wxpython using FigureCanvasWxAgg from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg).

In matplotlib you can select a point by using the picker property. Here and here you have examples of how to allow picking on the objects you draw and how to listen to the event.

You can use matplotlib or pygal. Something similar with your describing technique is used in PyQtGraph.

I would recommend using Chaco / TraitsUI for this sort of thing. They were developed specifically for interactive plots in Python. MAtplotlib / WX will work, but if you are going to be doing more of this sort of thing I found that Chaco was a better solution for interaction.

Here's some helpful links:
