Advanced MATLAB: ButtonDownFcn

 This is the next in a series of advanced topics in MATLAB. My definition of “Advanced” is somewhat nebulous and arbitrary, so even newer users can give this a watch. Two and a half minute video shows how to use buttondownfcn to get the current point. This can be a fundamental skill that underlies many advanced GUIs.

Doug first used MATLAB in 1994, could not figure it out until he got some help in 1995. He is now dedicated to making sure that no one else wastes a year of their life not knowing MATLAB like he did.

    Thanks for another great tutorial.

    If my plot were actually a 2-D figure, would it be possible to get the (x,y) and also the intensity at that spot (x/255)?

    Thanks,
    Daphne

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
