gtextm - Place text on map using mouse

Syntax

h = gtextm(string)
h = gtextm(string,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...)

h = gtextm(string) places the text object string at the position selected by mouse input. When this function is called, the current map axes are brought up and the cursor is activated for mouse-click position entry. The text object's handle is returned.

h = gtextm(string,PropertyName,PropertyValue,...) allows the specification of any properties supported by the MATLAB^® text function.

Example

Create map axes:

axesm('sinusoid','FEdgeColor','red')
gtextm('hello world','FontWeight','bold')

Click inside the frame and the text appears.
