Find Subplot Number from Matplotlib Pick Event

Question

So I have three matplotlib subplots. I can use a pick event to pull off and re-plot the data in any one of the subplot. Is it possible to read the pick event and to find out what subplot number was selected?

Unfortunately I cant do that because its just too big. Here are some relevant snippets that I can put in the question itself. — MadProgrammer

self.figure_canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', self.select_axes) def select_axes(self, event): if event.mouseevent.button == 1: if isinstance(event.artist, matplotlib.axes.Axes): axes = event.artist for line in axes.get_lines(): plt.figure() plt.plot(line.get_xdata(), line.get_ydata()) plt.show() I cant seem to format this code correctly, basically I can pull off the plotted data but I cant tell which subplot it came from. — MadProgrammer

Please edit your question rather than dumping code in the comments. It's unreadable in this state. — ali_m

You have the Axes object so you can probably do what ever you want with it. Failing that, you can use Axes as keys in dictionaries to map back to what ever you want. — tacaswell

Place the axes in a list or dictionary when creating. Then when a pick event has occurred, match the pick event axis to the dictionary.

Thank you all.
