Select subplots with mouse, with visual feedback

Click the mouse to select (and visibly toggle) multiple subplots. Returns subplot indices.

Description

A very simple script that uses figure callbacks and openGL transparency to produce a visibly toggled state in subplots. Cousin to allowaxestogrow.m.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)
• Other requirements: OpenGL support.

This is exactly what I needed for a program I'm writing. I'm looking to make a small twist on using it, that is, to have my program wait for the first one to be clicked and when that's done, move on to something else. I've tried waitfor(p, 'ButtonDownFcn') and also a while loop (while goodplots(1:end) == 0)... but these don't seem to work. Any recs on embedding this?

Hi Rebecca, check the documentation for waitfor -- 'ButtonDownFcn' doesn't change, so I don't think you can waitfor it.

You might change TogglePlot so that it would change some property of the figure, something like setappdata(get(src,'Parent'),'Done') then waitfor(fig,'AppData');

I haven't tested this but I expect something like it would work.
