Point
Point region of interest
Description
A Point
object specifies the position of a point
region-of-interest (ROI). You can customize the appearance and interactive behavior of the
ROI.
For more information about using the ROI, including keyboard shortcuts, see Tips.
Creation
There are two ways to create a Point
object. For more information, see
Create ROI Shapes.
Use the
drawpoint
function. Use this function when you want to create the ROI and set the appearance in a single command. You can specify the position of the ROI interactively by drawing the ROI over an image using the mouse, or programmatically by using name-value arguments.Use the
images.roi.Point
function described here. Use this function when you want to specify the appearance and behavior of the ROI before you specify the position of the ROI. After creating the object, you can specify the position interactively by using thedraw
function or programmatically by modifying properties of the object.
Description

roi
= images.roi.PointPoint
object with default properties.
creates an ROI object in the axes specified by roi
= images.roi.Point(ax
)ax
.
sets properties of the
ROI using name-value arguments. You can specify multiple name-value arguments.roi
= images.roi.Point(___,Name,Value
)
Example: images.roi.Point("Color","y")
creates a yellow colored
Point
object.
Input Arguments

Tag
— Tag to associate with ROI
''
(default) | character vector | string scalar
Tag to associate with the ROI, specified as a character vector or
string scalar. Use the tag value to find the ROI object in a
hierarchy of objects using the findobj
function.
UserData
— Data to associate with ROI
any MATLAB data
Data to associate with the ROI, specified as any MATLAB data. For example, you can specify a scalar, vector, matrix, cell array,
string, character array, table, or structure. The Point
object
does not use this data.
Visible
— ROI visibility
"on"
(default) | "off"
| on/off logical value
ROI visibility, specified as "on"
or "off"
, or as a
numeric or logical 1
(true
) or
0
(false
). A value of "on"
is equivalent to true, and "off"
is equivalent to false. The value is
stored as an on/off logical value of type OnOffSwitchState
.
Value | Description |
---|---|
"on" | Display the ROI. |
"off" | Hide the ROI without deleting it. You still can access the properties of an invisible ROI. |
Object Functions
addlistener | Create event listener bound to event source |
beginDrawingFromPoint | Begin drawing ROI from specified point |
bringToFront | Bring ROI to front of Axes stacking order |
draw | Begin drawing ROI interactively |
wait | Block MATLAB command line until ROI operation is finished |
Examples
Create Point ROI Non-interactively
Read an image into the workspace and display it.
I = imread('baby.jpg');
figure;
imshow(I)
Create a point ROI on the image, using the 'Position'
property to specify the location. For programmatically created ROIs, if you want the ROI drawn in a specific axes, you must specify that axes as an input argument. Otherwise, an instance of the images.roi.Point
class is created but not displayed. In this example, specify the current axes (gca
) to draw the ROI on the image in that axes.
h = images.roi.Point(gca,'Position',[400 650]);
Set Up Listeners for Point ROI Events
Read an image into the workspace.
I = imread('cameraman.tif');
Display the image.
imshow(I);
Draw a Point ROI on the image. Because this example specifies the length and location of the ROI, you do not have to call the draw
method to enable interactive drawing.
roi = images.roi.Point(gca,'Position',[40 65]);
Set up listeners for ROI moving events. When you move it, the ROI sends notifications of these events and executes the callback function you specify.
addlistener(roi,'MovingROI',@allevents); addlistener(roi,'ROIMoved',@allevents);
The allevents
callback function displays at the command line the previous position and the current position of the ROI.
function allevents(src,evt) evname = evt.EventName; switch(evname) case{'MovingROI'} disp(['ROI moving Previous Position: ' mat2str(evt.PreviousPosition)]); disp(['ROI moving Current Position: ' mat2str(evt.CurrentPosition)]); case{'ROIMoved'} disp(['ROI moved Previous Position: ' mat2str(evt.PreviousPosition)]); disp(['ROI moved Current Position: ' mat2str(evt.CurrentPosition)]); end end
More About
Events
To receive notification from the ROI when certain events happen, set up listeners for these events. You can specify a callback function that executes when one of these events occurs. When the ROI notifies your application through the listener, it returns data specific to the event. Look at the event class for the specific event to see what is returned.
For an example, see Set Up Listeners for Point ROI Events.
Event Name | Trigger | Event Data | Event Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
DeletingROI | ROI is about to be interactively deleted. | event.EventData |
|
DrawingStarted | ROI is about to be interactively drawn. | event.EventData |
|
DrawingFinished | ROI has been interactively drawn. | event.EventData |
|
MovingROI | ROI shape or location is being interactively changed. | images.roi.ROIMovingEventData |
|
ROIMoved | ROI shape or location has been interactively changed. | images.roi.ROIMovingEventData |
|
ROIClicked | ROI has been clicked. | images.roi.ROIClickedEventData |
|
Tips
To draw the ROI interactively using the
draw
ordrawpoint
function, position the pointer on the image and then click and release.The ROI supports the following interactivity, including keyboard shortcuts.
Behavior Keyboard shortcut Cancel drawing ROI. Press Esc. The function returns a valid ROI object with an empty Position
property.Move the ROI. Position the pointer over the ROI. The pointer changes to a circle. Click and drag to move the ROI. Delete the ROI. Position the pointer over the point, right-click, and then choose Delete Point from the context menu. You can also delete the ROI programmatically using the delete
function.For information about using an ROI in an app created with App Designer, see Using ROIs in Apps Created with App Designer.
Version History
Introduced in R2018bR2020a: UIContextMenu
property is not recommended
Starting in R2020a, using the UIContextMenu
property to assign a
context menu to a graphics object or UI component is not recommended. Use the
ContextMenu
property instead. The property values are the
same.
There are no plans to remove support for the UIContextMenu
property at this time. However, the UIContextMenu
property no
longer appears in the list returned by calling the get
function on a
graphics object or UI component.
