Save and rename part of files in plot

Hi,

I have a plot3 with 38 files in red and 12 files in blue. Now I want to select 12 files from red in the plot and rename those to simular names as the blue files.

I have no idea where to start and if this will be possible.

So I need to add a 'click function' and after the click another click or add name function how to save it.

Thanks in advance.

%open files blue 
for k = 1:length(f);  
     filename = fullfile(f(k).folder, f(k).name);
     CSVData = readmatrix(filename, 'Range', 1, 'Delimiter', ',');  [filepath,name,ext] = fileparts(filename); indexCSV = [(0:size(CSVData,1)-1)' CSVData];
     xC{k,1}=CSVData(:,7); yC{k,1}=CSVData(:,8); zC{k,1}=CSVData(:,9); radC{k,1}=CSVData(:,2)/2;
     indexC =indexCSV(:,1);
end
%open files red
 for i = 1:numbcenterlines    
    Ofilename = 'vessel_'+string(i)+'.csv';
    DataText = readmatrix(Ofilename, 'Range', 1, 'Delimiter', ','); b = [(0:size(DataText,1)-1)' DataText];  
    index =b(:,1);
    x =DataText(:,1); y =DataText(:,2); z =DataText(:,3); 
     for k = 1:length(f)
         plot3(xC{k,1},yC{k,1}, zC{k,1},'-b')
         hold on
     end 
    plot3(x,y,z, '-r');
    hold on
 end

Hi,

You could add the file name as a tag before plotting the line and also add a Onclick callback. So when you click the line, you could code it to check the tag and probably change the file name and save.

Refer the following link to know more about Tag property of line. Plot3 and plot function both uses line object internally to create lines and hence you could set this property even with plot3.
