When a plot is updated with the set_data and draw method, the mouse cursor change few milliseconds from an arrow to a circle. Is it possible to avoid this? Because I update my plot 10 times per second so it is very ugly to see my mouse cursor change so quickly.
I am using Python 3.6, PyQt5, and matplotlib 2.1. Thank you in advance ;)
I found a solution : use QApplication.restoreOverrideCursor() when I leave the axe and QApplication.setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt.ArrowCursor)) when I enter in it. Something like this so:
self.figure.canvas.mpl_connect("axes_enter_event", self.figureEntree)
self.figure.canvas.mpl_connect("axes_leave_event", self.figureSortie)
def figureSortie(self, event):
QApplication.restoreOverrideCursor()
def figureEntree(self, event):
QApplication.setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt.ArrowCursor))
And it is possible to adapt the figureEntree function if you have a toolbar (change the cursor along the tool active => variables which change when you select a tool).
This is a new "feature" of matplotlib 2.1.
The what's new page says
Busy Cursor
The interactive GUI backends will now change the cursor to busy when Matplotlib is rendering the canvas.
There is also this issue about the undesired behaviour.
QApplication.restoreOverrideCursor() when I leave the axe (event axes_leave_event), and QApplication.setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt.ArrowCursor)) when I enter (event axes_enter_event)
