How to (cleverly) index points in a plot?

I have a for loop which plots a point each iteration.

In total there are about 4000+ points to be plotted. From the figure, I want to select a point and see which iteration gave me that point.

The only way I thought of doing this is by printing the index next to the points on the plot which creates a very messy picture.

Thanks,

Mohit.

Awesome, thanks!

Can the same thing also be done with plot? (As I would prefer a dash-dot plot)

If not, I'll obviously make two plots - one with scatter and one with plot.
