function g %here is how one creates a function ("callback") which does something %(prints the node label) when you click on the node's text in Matlab figure. % % Leon Peshkin http://www.ai.mit.edu/~pesha % %draw_graph(...) % "gca" is the current "axes" object, parent of all objects in figure % "gcbo" is the handle of the object whose callback is being executed % "findall" gives handles to all elements of a given type in the figure text_elms = findall(gca,'Type','text'); for ndx = 1:length(text_elms) callbk = 'my_call(str2num(get(gcbo,''String'')))'; set(text_elms(ndx), 'ButtonDownFcn', callbk); % assume the node label is a number end
