Math Forum / Math Software / MATLAB / July 2008

It looks like something has changed on me.

I've been shown that my selectdata code no longer runs, at least in R2007b.
I've not tested it in R2008a, although I will.

It sets buttondown and buttonup functions on a figure, then does a uiwait.
The buttonup call is a nested function that does some cleanup, and then does
a uiresume. At this point the code seems to hang completely. This code
fragment previously ran with no problems:

plot(rand(5,2),rand(5,2),'o')
[pind,xs,ys] = selectdata('selectionmode','bru')

On the button up, it should return a list of any points that were brushed over
during the time the mouse button was down.

Now it just hangs. If I control-c out at this point, then it returns the proper
results. I've even run through it with the debugger to trap what happens after
the uiresume. Matlab becomes unresponsive, at least until I control-c out.

Any ideas on what has changed? I'd rather not need to have two versions up
there, one for older releases than R2007b.

Thanks,
John
