[Matplotlib-users] mouse coordinate precision in figures

Hello,

When you make a figure and move the mouse around inside the axes, the
x- and y-values appear in the status bar. Is there a way to change the
precision of this data? It's only tracking 3 significant figures and I
need more (say you're zoomed in on some data with a large offset).

Is there a way to change this in matplotlibrc or some global
preference? If not, is it a figure property?

Thanks in advance,
Jack
