Starting Plot Edit Mode

Before you can select objects in a figure by clicking on them, you must activate plot editing mode. There are several ways to activate plot edit mode:

• Choose the Edit Plot option on the figure window Tools menu.
• Click on the selection button in the figure window toolbar.



• Choose an option from the Edit or Insert menu. For example, if you choose the Axes Properties option on the Edit menu, MATLAB activates plot edit mode and the axes appear selected.
• Run the plotedit command in the MATLAB command window.

When a figure window is in plot edit mode, the Edit Plot option on the Tools menu is checked and the selection button in the toolbar is highlighted.
