Data cursors for figure window

Data cursor support for multiple axes in a fugure

Description

Several related functions:

CreateCursor sets up a vertical cursor on all axes in a figure. The cursors can be moved around using the mouse.
Multiple cursors are supported in each figure

GetCursorLocation returns the location of a cursor while SetCursorLocation sets it.

DeleteCursor removes a cursor.

Objects belonging to each cursor have their handles stored in the figure application data area. Callbacks for each object serve to link their position on the axes.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b)

very good and useful. However, the cursor will meet some problems when you zoom in/out, or move the figure.

Thanks! This is great. Is there any way to implement this inside a GUI?

Update posted. This is more flexible. Axes in a GUI should be OK - though I do not use GUIDE so have not checked that.

Horizontal cursors would also be extremely useful!
