matplotlib-draggable-plot | An example of draggable plot for matplotlib | Data Visualization library

I am building an interactive Tkinter GUI wherein a blank pyplot figure and axes are drawn in the GUI along with some buttons, where the user can click, drag, and delete points to form a custom point plot. The coordinates of these points can then be printed in a particular format used as Input in a much more complex Fortran code. I have gotten almost everything to work, except for the initial interactivity of the figure/axes space. I am heavily relying on a wonderful Draggable-Plot object code I found on GitHub by user yuma-m, link below:

https://github.com/yuma-m/matplotlib-draggable-plot/blob/master/draggable_plot.py

After much tweaking of the original Draggable-Plot object I was able to get the interactive plot integrated into my GUI; HOWEVER the bug comes in when I generate the plot for the first time. After setting the correct axes bounds, and clicking 'Update Axes' for the FIRST time, the figure and plot are drawn but do NOT register any MouseEvents. My guess is that when the event.inaxes in [self._axes] condition is checked in the _on_click function, the existence/placement of self._axes is being blocked in some way.

The best part happens when you click the 'Update Axes' button a second time, and a new axes object is plotted directly below the first. When this occurs, the script will begin to register MouseEvents in the INITIAL plot, but will draw all corresponding points in the new SECOND plot. When I restrict the placement of the second plot in the same grid position as the first, no interactivity is registered, as I'm guessing the new axes overlaps the first.

I'm simply looking for a solution to this bizarre problem; obviously the ideal functionality of this GUI would be initial interactivity of the first generated plot, with any subsequently generated axes behaving the same. Thank you!
