Hi,
I'm developing a GUI code which use an Axes to plot the results, my results are Lines, I was wondering to know if there is any way to access to objects by mouse? I want to add a menu which shows the property of the line like thickness and color which is different for each line. I need to know if I can access to the objects Tag by right click on it and then show the proper data in the menu?
Thanks

You are looking to set callbacks on the lines.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for your response. I tried your solution, but, I think I'm doing something wrong. I can get callback from the axes in my GUI interface just by clicking on the background but on the lines does not give any thing. Can you please let me know how can I get callback from the lines in the axes? what kind of function should I define? I do appreciate your answer.

set() the Callback on the lines to be appropriate, possibly the same as the Callback for the axes, possibly different.
Alternately, set() Hittest 'off' on the lines so that clicking on them activates the axes callback.
Alternately, only set the Callback for the lines and not for the axes.
