getting coordinates from gui axes

Hi,

I work with a GUI includes axes ( matlab2016a ),

I already activated the datacursor in gui side (from toolbar),

I can see coordinates when I click to graph,

But I want to get coordinates of mouse click, I mean reading the values, x and y,

I try with cp = get(gca,'CurrentPoint');

Does not work.

Can anyone help?

Regards.

What aspect of get( gca, 'CurrentPoint' ) 'doesn't work'?

You can use one of these commands to read the data on mouse click.

   [x, y] = getpts(fig) 

        or

    [x, y] = getpts(ax)

Thank you! Why it returns 12 values? How can I restrict it with only 1 or 2 value?

[Purushottama Rao]

You can use 'enter' after the selection of required number of data points.

Thanks, I get it.

Is it possible using 'enter' by commands? I mean via code?
