Connect Two Points Interactively

Connect two points in a plot by using theglinefunction.

Generate a sample data set, and create a scatter plot.

x = 1:10; y = x + randn(1,10); scatter(x,y,25,"b","*")

Superimpose a least-squares line on the scatter plot.

lsline

Plot red circle markers.

mu = mean(y); holdonscatter([1 10],[mu mu],"ro")

Axes object contains a scatter plot, least-squares line, and two markers

Start the interactive line tool by calling theglinefunction for the current figure.

g = gline;

Connect the two circle markers by selecting them. First, click one of the markers. A line appears and tracks the pointer movement. Then click the second marker to complete the line.
