Lasso Demo
==========

Use a lasso to select a set of points and get the indices of the selected points.
A callback is used to change the color of the selected points.

.. note::
    This example exercises the interactive capabilities of Matplotlib, and this
    will not appear in the static documentation. Please run this code on your
    machine to see the interactivity.

    You can copy and paste individual parts, or download the entire example
    using the link at the bottom of the page.
