Selelcting Points in a plot embedded in a GUI

Typically when you produce a plot, it creates a separate window with the toolbar menu. If one selects tools -> Data cursor, it allows the user to select points on your plot.

However, when you do this in a GUI application, the toolbar menu doesn't appear and hence does not provide the option to the user to select points a graph. I want to be able to do this. So far I have a plot embedded in a GUI.

In GUIDE, go to tools -> Toolbar Editor and add Data cursor mode. If its a regular gui or plot you can always use >> datacursormode In a programmatic gui you can set the menu bar and toolbar using figure properties:
