DRAGPLOT

02 Jul 2003 (Updated 07 Jul 2003)

No BSD License

DRAGPLOT allows plots to be moved between figure windows via drag 'n drop.

File Information

Description

DRAGPLOT allows plotted lines to be dragged from one figure window and dropped into another. This is convenient when you desire to compare the results of multiple programs and you haven't taken the time or trouble to save data, recall it, and issue custom plot commands.

Lines can be moved or copied from one figure to another, or can be deleted, all using common drag 'n drop operations.

MATLAB release

MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

08 Jul 2003	Norbert Marwan	I would like to suggest to look at the INCA tool, available in the File Exchange area: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=2387 which has some more functionality. Furthermore, its functionality can be added to the menubar.
11 Jul 2003	Scott Hirsch	This is really cool, and quite useful. It sure beats printing two pages, stacking them on top of each other, and holding them up to a bright light!
27 Sep 2004	Roy Schestowitz	This is an excellent trick which proves to be highly useful. I used to wonder why Mathworks hadn't implemented this functionality. I had to overcome this from command-line before I knew that Mark Brown solved the problem.
24 Jul 2005	John sopko	The link in Norbert's comment above seems to be broken. Can somone give the updated link? Thanks, John
08 Mar 2006	DJ M	Worked with no problems on a simple test. I only had one case where placement messed up, all the selected data points moved off the plot and I couldn't bring them back. I wonder what a good test case for that is... Thanks Mark!
08 Mar 2006	Mark Brown	To answer DJM's question, that may be intended behavior! If you drop a line anywhere except over a valid axis, that line object will be deleted. That's intentional. If you want to copy a line object, hold down the CTRL key when you drag and drop.
22 Jan 2009	Sahin Aktas	Thanks for this brilliant idea, one improvement could be allowing drop to an axes within the same figure, I have implemented that and used at my work, thanks again.
30 Oct 2009	Mmd	Very useful program, thanks.
