A bug in ScatterPlotItem

[Jeremy Webster]

I believe I posted this either here or in the issues section on github at one time, but I never heard anything so I'm trying again

i have a PlotDataItem and I'm trying to connect the sigPointsClicked signal to a function. 

The problem is that when I click on a point, I get the following TypeError...

    |    File "/home/jwebster/anaconda3/envs/py3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyqtgraph/graphicsItems/ScatterPlotItem.py", line 817, in pointsAt
    |      s2x = s2y = ss * 0.5
    |  TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'

I don't know that this will get fixed anytime soon, and I really need this to work

Can someone suggest a workaround?


this is how I create the curve and connect it.

self.b_curve = pg.PlotDataItem(x=self.t,
                                            y=self.b,
                                            pen=None,
                                            brush=bcolor,
                                            symbol=symb,
                                            symbolPen=bcolor,
                                            symbolBrush=bcolor,
                                            symbolSize='5')

self.b_curve.sigPointsClicked.connect(self.pointsClicked)


def pointsClicked(self, points):
    for idx, point in enumerate(points):
        print('{}: x={}, y={}'.format(idx, point.x(), point.y()))
