function [x,y] = getcurpt(axHandle) %GETCURPT Get current point. % [X,Y] = GETCURPT(AXHANDLE) gets the x- and y-coordinates of % the current point of AXHANDLE. GETCURPT compensates these % coordinates for the fact that get(gca,'CurrentPoint') returns % the data-space coordinates of the idealized left edge of the % screen pixel that the user clicked on. For IPT functions, we % want the coordinates of the idealized center of the screen % pixel that the user clicked on. % Steven L. Eddins, March 1997 % Copyright 1993-1998 The MathWorks, Inc.
