I have a simple class that plots basic x and y data. Within the class I have a method that enables the data cursor mode, customizes the text, and collects and saves the points. I'd like to change the behavior of the method so that I can collect only two points at a time. Right now it stores every point even when I turn off the data cursor mode and turn it back on to use it. Here is my code for my class:
classdef CursorPoint
properties
Xdata
Ydata
end
methods
function me = CursorPoint(varargin)
x_data = 0:.01:2*pi;
y_data = cos(x_data);
f= figure;
plot(x_data,y_data);
me.DCM(f);
end
function DCM(me,fig)
dcm_obj = datacursormode(fig);
set(dcm_obj,'UpdateFcn',@myupdatefcn)
set(dcm_obj,'enable','on')
myPoints=[];
function txt = myupdatefcn(empt,event_obj)
% Customizes text of data tips
pos = get(event_obj,'Position');
myPoints(end + 1,:) = pos;
txt = {['Time: ',num2str(pos(1))],...
['Amplitude: ',num2str(pos(2))]};
end
end
end
end
Could you change the
myPoints
variable to two variables calledmyPointCurrent
andmyPointPrevious
. When ever themyupdatefcn
method is called you would move the contents ofmyPointCurrent
intomyPointPrevious
and then store the current position inmyPointCurrent
.The new function (with some error checking) would look something like:
