Capturing Mouse click on a Figure

Hi to All,

I am building a simple code that should detect the left mouse button when it is clicked on a figure. When the click is captured, a variable (e.g: y) should change its value from 0 to 1.

Th is is my code, in which I check on WindowButtonDown to invoke sendout function. sendout function shall set UserData to 1, in which I pass it to y. I run the code and I got ans = []!

Does anyone have an idea about mouse clicking in Matlab?!

Many thanks. Mahmood %% The code function y=main2

f=figure;
set(f,'WindowButtonDown',{@sendout});

      function sendout(varargin)
         set(f,'UserData',1); 
      end
   y =get(f,'UserData');
  end

Dunno if this will help

y=0   % intial value of y==0

k=waitforbuttonpress;  % detect mouse click

if k==0   % on detect make y=1
    y=1   
end

Oh yea!

Thanks for the solution. That is more easier and efficient
