Possible to make labels appear when hovering over a point in matplotlib in stem plot?

I am new to matplotlib and I am looking to label stems in a stem plot with x,y co-od when mouse hovers over that point. When I searched everything was meant for scatter plot (Possible to make labels appear when hovering over a point in matplotlib? present code is like this:

def plot_matching(mzs,ints,matching,scan_num):
fig=p1.gcf()
fig.canvas.set_window_title('MS/MS Viewer')
rel_ints=relative_intensity(ints)
p1.xlim(min(mzs)-100,max(mzs)+100)
p1.ylim(min(rel_ints),max(rel_ints)+5)
p1.title('Scan Number:'+scan_num)
p1.xlabel('m/z')
p1.ylabel('Relative intensity')
mzs_rel=zip(mzs,rel_ints)    
for x,y in mzs_rel:
    x1=[]
    y1=[]
    x1.append(x)
    y1.append(y)
    markerline, stemlines, baseline=p1.stem(x1,y1)
    p1.setp(markerline, 'Marker', '')
    for m in matching:
        if x==m[1] and y>3.0:
            p1.setp(stemlines, linewidth=2, color='r')
            p1.text(x,y,m[0],fontsize=12)
            break
        else:
            p1.setp(stemlines,linewidth=2, color='g')
return p1

Will the scatter plot link for stem plot too?

To make a hovering label, you need to hook up a function to handle motion_notify_events:

    plt.connect('motion_notify_event', some_function)

Below is some code showing one way to do it. The hovering label behavior is produced by

cursor = FollowDotCursor(ax, x, y)

where ax is the axis, x and y are lists of coordinates. Since you supply x and y, it does not matter if you are making a line plot or a stem plot or whatever. The labels appear when the mouse is moved near any point (xi, yi).

The code below uses scipy.spatial.cKDTree to locate the nearest point. Here is an older version of this code which does not require scipy.


import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import scipy.spatial as spatial
import numpy as np
pi = np.pi
cos = np.cos

def fmt(x, y):
    return 'x: {x:0.2f}\ny: {y:0.2f}'.format(x=x, y=y)

class FollowDotCursor(object):
    """Display the x,y location of the nearest data point.
