ask: how do I insert an image (background) on the axes and draw on it (background)? here the code:

1 view (last 30 days)
function userDraw(handles)
%F=figure;
%setptr(F,'eraser'); %a custom cursor just for fun
A=axes;
% axesUserDraw is tag of my axes
set(A,'buttondownfcn',@start_pencil)
function start_pencil(src,eventdata)
coords=get(src,'currentpoint');
%since this is the axes callback, src=gca
x=coords(1,1,1);
y=coords(1,2,1);
r=line(x, y, 'color', [0 .5 1], 'LineWidth', 2, 'hittest', 'off');
%turning hittset off allows you to draw new lines that start on top of an existing line.
set(gcf,'windowbuttonmotionfcn',{@continue_pencil,r})
set(gcf,'windowbuttonupfcn',@done_pencil)
function continue_pencil(src,eventdata,r)
%Note: src is now the figure handle, not the axes, so we need to use gca.
coords=get(gca,'currentpoint'); %this updates every time i move the mouse
x=coords(1,1,1);
y=coords(1,2,1);
%get the line's existing coordinates and append the new ones.
lastx=get(r,'xdata');
lasty=get(r,'ydata');
newx=[lastx x];
newy=[lasty y];
set(r,'xdata',newx,'ydata',newy);
function done_pencil(src,evendata)
%all this funciton does is turn the motion function off
set(gcf,'windowbuttonmotionfcn','')
set(gcf,'windowbuttonupfcn','')
