How to make plot with enter the coordinate

I want to make a plot with coordinate.
Starting the plot I want to get the exact coordinate.
Is there any mathod with keyboard?

The question is not clear yet. A coordinate of what? On the earth, on the monitor, in an axes?
disp('Initial location of particles')
lon0=[];
lat0=[];
for i=1:pn
title(['Click initial position of particle #' num2str(i)])
[loni lati]=ginput(1);
lon0=[lon0 loni];
lat0=[lat0 lati];
plot(loni,lati,'ko','markerfacecolor','k')
end
not using mouse
I want to use keyboard and directly input the coordinates
But what do you want to do with those coordinates that you input with the keyboard? Is that where you call
plot(loni,lati,'ko','markerfacecolor','k')
where you want the loni and lati to be the longitude and latitude that the user enters?
I want to enter (35,131)
You may want to try using the inputdlg to capture the input and then process it.
umm.. It doesnt' work.
You may want to show what you have attempted and clarify what you mean by "It doesn't work".
Inputdlg is not working that I want to input coordinates.
Is there a way to take the coordinates I want?
If you want to enter the coordinates you want and then do something with them, you could try
prompt = {'Enter latitude (degrees):','Enter longitude (degrees):'};
dlgtitle = 'Input coordinates';
answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlgtitle)
latitude = str2double(answer{1});
longitude = str2double(answer{2});
% do whatever checks you need here for valid latitude and longitudes
if abs(latitude) > 90
latitude = mod(latitude,90);
end
if abs(longitude) > 180
longitude = mod(longitude,180);
end
fprintf('latitude is: %f\n', latitude);
fprintf('longitude is: %f\n', longitude);
But it still isn't clear to me that this is really what you are asking for.
Thank you very much! I will try it
