Enriching data plots & figures

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a way to display a small image (like a thumbnail) in a Matlab figure when the mouse is clicked . The image must change depending on the position of the mouse click, so I need somehow to know at which coordinate the mouse event was fired.

The idea is to enrich my figure, on which my algorithm's state is plotted, with additional information. Particularly if the mouse is clicked at, say, position x,y I want to load a corresponding image representing the information related to x,y and visualize it just the way it is possible to show a data cursor or any datatip. The only difference is that I don't have text, just pictures.

Can anybody please help me? Thanks Simona

I would have a look at the FEX. There are a number of submissions with zoom and thumbnail/inset capabilities.

Hi Daniel, I think I found something useful by searching for the "inset" keyword in the FEX. Thanks for your suggestion!
