Hi Guys, I'm having a problem where I want to view consecutive 3d scatter plots. I plot the first one, then, when I'm ready I press a mouse button and it advances to the next plot using:
waitforbuttonpress
to advance the code . This is working fine. But in addition to this I also want to rotate the image, however using the mouse to rotate the image makes the program advance to the next plot! What I really would like is a
waitforKEYpress,
so I can use the mouse on the plot and when I'm done press a key to advance. So my question is:
Are there any other
"waitfor"'s
which will let me use the mouse on plots freely?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Tim.

Use a figure WindowKeypressFcn callback.

Hi Walter, thanks for you reply. Will this method work without a GUI, as I'm not using one..

A scatter plot has to be in an axes, which has to be part of a figure. Attach the callback to that figure.
As far as MATLAB is concerned, "GUI" and "figure" are the same thing.
