StandAlone Matlab app don't show the points with the interection with the mouse
Show older comments
I am building an app in matlab app desing that the user needs to interact with the graph with a mouse and in the app designer appears the points like in the figure. But when I create the standAlone app, this interaction with the graph disappears. Does someone know how to solve it?

Are you having your code call datatips() or are you having your code turn on chart interactions https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/control-axes-interactions.html

datatips never appear automatically in regular graphs (possibly specialized graphs such as bode plot might enable them.) datatips either have to be turned on with a datatips() call, or chart interactivity has to turn them on, or the user has to click the datatip button in the axes toolbar.

You can select the axes or the figure. For me it worked by using the app.UIAxes

Enable or Disable Built-In Interactions
To control whether a set of built-in interactions is enabled within a chart, use the disableDefaultInteractivity and enableDefaultInteractivity functions. Sometimes MATLAB® automatically disables the built-in interactions. For example, they might be disabled for charts that have special features, or when you implement certain callbacks such as a WindowScrollWheelFcn.
You can try calling enableDefaultInteractivity after you have plot something on the UIAxes
function plotfunction(app,....)
% ... code to plot ....%
enableDefaultInteractivity(app.X); % app.X where X is the name of your UIAxes object
% alternative method to only enable dataTipInteractions.
app.X.Interactions = [dataTipInteraction]; % app.X where X is the name of your UIAxes object
end
