Position of text objects ?

Hey Guys,

It is possible to add some text to each Point, after u have plotted an Array. If u call not the children of the axes u get as many children as u have text objects + one child for the plot line. Now I want to ask u: Is it possible to get the x and y Value of the text position ?

example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

x = 1:10
y = 3*x
name = 'hello'
plot(x,y)
text(x,y,name)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Use

hText = text(x,y,name)

instead.

That will give you an array of handles for each text object. You can then call e.g.

pos = get( hText(1), 'Position' );

to get the coordinates (x,y,z) of the that text item
