Hi everybody,

This problem has wasted my time for sometime now...
Any help would be appreciated ...
I plot a 3D dataset using plot3, and I want to be able to click on 7 different points on the figure...and access the xyz coordinates of those points in my workspace ...
I have tried, getpts, ginput, and played a bit with datacursor ...
The first two are for xy data and I can not get the z coordinate, and with the latter, I can not select several points ...

Any help would be appreciated ...
