ginput2.m v3.1 (Nov 2009)

Same as GINPUT but with ZOOM, PAN and (optionally) PLOT and image SCALE/GEOREFERENCE!

You are now following this Submission

Do you still use GINPUT to graphically select points on current axes with the mouse? Try this one!

With GINPUT2 you can also:
1. ZOOM: in, out (double-click)!
2. PAN: when dragging!
3. DELETE: last selected point!
4. PLOT: while selecting! (optional, just input the line style!)
5. SCALE or GEOREFERENCE images! (optional, just input: true)

So, besides of selecting points in a more precise way (zooming) you can DIGITIZE(!!!) lines with the last two options, by simply using:
>> ginput2(true,'.k')

Enjoy it!
Bug reports and comments will be very appreciated!
