In a custom application where I repeatedly clear figures and reinitialize a
MultiCursor
object I need to inherit and override its__init__
method (which I now have to maintain withif
/else
s depending on installed matplotlib version because of changes in upstream, like 349ccec) because I need to disconnect the events again.This would not have been necessary on my end had
MultiCursor
been aware of the IDs of its connected events. So, I think this might be useful for other people and it would make it possible for me to reuse__init__
for future matplotlib versions.(Or maybe I just don't see the easy solution to disconnect these events again without saving their IDs?)
