Graphic Editing Tool

Edit plots and text by just selecting them with the mouse. This function allows you to easily move.

Description

Graphic Editing Tool

Usage:
editingtool('On') - enables the function
editingtool('Off') - disenables the function
editingtool - Enables the function if it is Off
              or disenables the function if it is On
              If there is no current figure, a demo is run
editingtool(handles) - enables the function only
                    to the handles specified

Description:
Allows you to edit plots and text by just
selecting them with the mouse.

You can easily move, rotate, change properties etc. of lines
and text by simply clicking on them or typing specific keys.

A double click will select a specific point within a line.

The following Key-Press Functions may used with this program
return - Opens the Java property window of the current object(s)
delete - Deletes the current object(s)
insert - Inserts in additional point to the selected line object
c - copies the current object(s) and places them using the mouse
d - Draw a line by left-clicking on points and right-click when finished
      The Tag property is set to 'line'
p - Draw a polygon by left-clicking on points and right-click when
      finished, the polygon is close with the first point
      The Tag property is set to 'polygon'
t - Insert text by click on a position and typing

Works by setting the ButtonDownFcn of the
current axes and children as editingtool('BtnDown').

NOTES:
The Tag property is useful for extracting the data from the lines
of polygons. For example
  x = get(findobj('Tag','line'),'Xdata')
  y = get(findobj('Tag','polygon'),'Ydata')

The userdata of the figure is set to a structure.
If the userdata already contains a structure,
new fields are added for internal use of the program.
Some of fields are describes bellow
             hAx: Current axes
            hSlc: Handle of line used for point seleccion
            hObj: List of handles of selected objects
          NewObj: Used for pasting
           index: Index of point within a line
            hMod: Handle of object that contains a selected point
          Button: Mouse button selected
    CurrentPoint: [2x3 double] - Last point selected
          hLine: Line drawn during rotation
            Orig: [2x3 double] - Used for rotation of objects

Key Words: Edit, Rotate, Move, Delete, Add Lines, Draw

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7 (R14)

Excellent work.

I had to change a little the code to have it working with Matlab 6.5.
For previous Matlab versions, you need to modify the beginning of function KeyPress

function KeyPress(hObject, eventdata, handles)
%%J function KeyPress(src,evnt,op)
hFig = get(0,'CurrentFigure');
hAx = get(hFig,'CurrentAxes');
ud = get(hFig,'UserData');
evnt.Key = get(hFig,'CurrentCharacter');
if isempty(ud.hObj) && ~any(strcmpi(evnt.Key,{'d','p','t'}))
    return
end
ud.key = evnt.Key;

Excellent, thank you very much.
