Matlab: How to get the current mouse position on a click by using callbacks
Define the WindowButtonDownFcn of your figure callback using the set command and an @callbackfunction tag. Like so: function mytestfunction() f=figure; set(f,’WindowButtonDownFcn’,@mytestcallback) function mytestcallback(hObject,~) pos=get(hObject,’CurrentPoint’); disp([‘You clicked X:’,num2str(pos(1)),’, Y:’,num2str(pos(2))]); You can also pass extra variables to callback functions using cell notation: set(f,’WindowsButtonDownFcn’,{@mytestcallback,mydata}) If you’re working with uicontrol objects, then it’s: set(myuicontrolhandle,’Callback’,@mytestcallback)
