I'm following this tutorial on how to embed pyqtgraph in pyqt5.
I need to enable pyqtgraph to show cursor position. but i don't know how to do that. please help me.

Hi @mohammaadhaji9056
This is a little trickier than I expected, but I've got it figured out. You need to manually draw the crosshair yourself, and then update the position of those lines based on mouse movements using a signal proxy.

The lines are drawn in the plot() method, and then updated in the mouseMoved method. See the SignalProxy which forwards mouse movements to this custom handler.
