@Shree: why? What does a uitable not offer that an array of text boxes would.

TextItems = {'Hello', 'klaatu', 'MATLAB', 'cephaloid'};
for K = 1 : length(TextItems)
texthandles(K) = uicontrol('Style', 'text', 'String', TextItems{K});
end
You would probably want to enhance this to control the position of the items.

I am able to display values at any point on the image.however,I want to display the values at the exact co-ordinates obtained by getpts().if I set the position,the points do not display at the selected points but are far away or sometimes nowhere close to the initial coordinate.kindly help

The question I was answering was for creating static text boxes automatically. That is something you might do if you are creating a user interface. It is not something you would do to label coordinates in a plot. uicontrol() are for user interface purposes; you would use text() to label nodes.
Use the Add-On Explorer to install that contribution and the explorer will automatically download and install it for you. Get Add-Ons, search for ds2nfu, click on the one marked as being by Michelle Hirsch, click to Add from GitHub, Ok downloading outside source.

In that case click on the Download from GitHub button in the link I posted, and download the .zip file. Unzip it into any convenient unused directory that is not underneath where MATLAB itself is installed. Once it is unzipped, use pathtool to add the directory you installed into to your path.
