Hie guys, I have done a GUI to plot a graph. Now i would like to get the calue from the graph. Lets say i plot(x,y). I would like to get the value out, for example when x=4, what is the value of y. I know there is a datacursormode, but it only show me the value in the graph. In this case, i would like to get the value in the command window.
Thanks Ean

You can retrieve the plotted data, for example:
XData=get(get(gca,'children'),'XData');
YData=get(get(gca,'children'),'YData');
Now if you want to know the y value when x=4 just do
YData(XData==4)

You can use a custom datacursormode callback that includes display() in its code.
