Using S-Lang as pseudo-code, add a signal handler for motion events

      ... = g_signal_connect(canvas,"motion_notify_event", ...

to the canvas, and within the handler do something like

     gtk_widget_get_pointer(canvas, &x, &y);
     gtk_plot_get_point(plot, x, y, &x, &y);

and display it how you wish, such as in a label

     gtk_label_set_text(label, sprintf("( %5.3f, %5.3f )", x, y));
