When displaying an image with the qt graphical toolkit, the coordinates of the mouse pointer are displayed in the status bar in the bottom left corner of the window as a string with the format "(%1, %2)".

It would be very much appreciated (also by others, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23706937/displaying-pixel-values-of-an-image-in-octave#32973209), if the data value under the mouse pointer would also be displayed in the status bar, e.g. with the format "(%1, %2): %3" (or something that resembles the Matlab behaviour).

It appears, the function "Figure::updateStatusBar" (in file "libgui/graphics/Figure.cc") is called from "Canvas::canvasMouseMoveEvent" (in file "libgui/graphics/Canvas.cc") to update the status bar of the figure window.
Unfortunately, I could not figure out, how to access the image data matrix of the figure to grab the pixel value, otherwise, I would have suggested a patch.
