=================
Cross hair cursor
=================
This example adds a cross hair as a data cursor. The cross hair is
implemented as regular line objects that are updated on mouse move.
We show three implementations:
1) A simple cursor implementation that redraws the figure on every mouse move.
This is a bit slow and you may notice some lag of the cross hair movement.
2) A cursor that uses blitting for speedup of the rendering.
3) A cursor that snaps to data points.
Faster cursoring is possible using native GUI drawing, as in
:doc:`/gallery/user_interfaces/wxcursor_demo_sgskip`.
The mpldatacursor__ and mplcursors__ third-party packages can be used to
achieve a similar effect.

# Faster redrawing using blitting
# """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
# This technique stores the rendered plot as a background image. Only the
# changed artists (cross hair lines and text) are rendered anew. They are
# combined with the background using blitting.
#
# This technique is significantly faster. It requires a bit more setup because
# the background has to be stored without the cross hair lines (see
# ``create_new_background()``). Additionally, a new background has to be
# created whenever the figure changes. This is achieved by connecting to the
# ``'draw_event'``.
