from moverotateobj by alex sanchez
allows to graphically and simply move and rotate lines and text objects

moverotateobj(action)
function moverotateobj(action)
%moverotateobj(action)
%
%Called when an object is clicked on
%whos ButtonDownFcn = moverotateobj('BtnDown')
%
%This is can be done by using
%   set(h,'ButtonDownFcn','moverotateobj(''BtnDown'')')
%where h is handle vector or typing
%moverotateobj('On') does this automatically
%moverotateobj('Off') takes it off
%
%moverotateobj by its self turns the property 'On'
%if it is 'Off' or turns it 'Off' if it is 'On'
