I am currently trying to program a seaborn stripplot which shows a point’s column and index in the dataframe when hovered on by the mouse.
This raises a few questions:
What does stripplot.contains() return? I get that it returns a boolean saying whether the event lies in the container-artist and a dict giving the labels of the picked data points. But what does this dict actually look like in the case of a 2D DataFrame?
How can I locate a data point in my dataframe thanks to this data?

Thank you for your help.

My current program looks like follows, and is largely taken from this issue:

#Creating the data frame
A = pd.DataFrame(data = np.random.randint(10,size=(5,5)))

fig,ax = plt.subplots()

strp = sns.stripplot(A)

annot = ax.annotate("", xy=(0,0), xytext=(20,20),textcoords="offset points",
                    bbox=dict(boxstyle="round", fc="w"))
annot.set_visible(False)

def update_annot(ind):
    mX, mY = A[ind["ind"][0]], A[ind["ind"][0]].loc[ [ind["ind"][0]] ]
    annot.xy = (mX,mY)

    annot.set_text(str(ind["ind"][0])+", "+str(ind["ind"][0]))
    annot.get_bbox_patch().set_facecolor("blue")
    annot.get_bbox_patch().set_alpha(0.4)
    

def hover(event):
    vis = annot.get_visible()
    if event.inaxes == ax:
        cont, ind = strp.contains(event)
        if cont:
            update_annot(ind)
            annot.set_visible(True)
            fig.canvas.draw_idle()
        else:
            if vis:
                annot.set_visible(False)
                fig.canvas.draw_idle()

fig.canvas.mpl_connect("motion_notify_event", hover)

plt.show()

My guess here is that there is a problem with what the shape I am expecting from the dict that stripplot.contains outputs. And since I can not find a way to print it (once the last line is run, nothing print anymore), it is hard for me to know…

Thank you!
