Description

The following will allow me, within a separate script, to use fig.mne to recover the bad channels with the plot window open and drop them from raw:

fig=raw.plot()
bads=fig.mne.info[‘bads’]
raw.drop_channels(bads)

Can we do the same for annotations? In other words, suppose I wish to access annotations within a script without closing the plot window? Does fig.mne.inst.annotations have this capability, or could it modified to do so?

Research direction

Start by tracing the object returned by raw.plot() and how fig.mne exposes its underlying instance. Check whether annotations are available through fig.mne.inst.annotations while the plot remains open, and identify the relevant plotting implementation and tests. Done means a script can access the annotations without closing the plot window, with coverage for that behavior.
