I'm currently using matplotlib and I need to store coordinates of two left clicks on a graph. (I'm calculating an integral between the two clicked points) Somehow, after hours and hours of trying, I haven't managed to save the two clicks. Does anybody here know how to do that?

Use the ginput() function. Here's an example:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# generate some data to plot
x = np.linspace(0, 10)
y = np.sin(x)

plt.plot(x, y)

print('please click twice on the plot')

clicks = []
for i in range(2):
    clicks.append(plt.ginput())

print('your clicks were at locations:')
print(clicks)
