I'm fairly new to matplotlib but I thought that when I hover on a point on my scatter plot, it would show the coordinates. However, that doesn't seem to be the case?

No, this feature is not automatically implemented in matplotlib. plot.ly does have the hovering by default. For matplotlib, you may look at [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42703278/how-to-display-data-in-a-matplot-plot) or [this one](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7908636/possible-to-make-labels-appear-when-hovering-over-a-point-in-matplotlib) for a start in matplotlib. Since the question is too unspecific, we might also close it as duplicate of one of those. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Aug 16 '17 at 07:55

Possibly the closest to what you want is [this official example](https://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/cursor_demo.html). – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Aug 16 '17 at 07:58
