How to display the x and y values of the cursor location on plot in GUIDE

Suppose I plot a graph on an axis in MATLAB GUIDE. How do I get two static text boxes to display the x and y values of the point my cursor is hovering over? I know this can be done to show the pixel coordinates in the GUI, but when it comes to a plot I am unsure.

Would this help?

Yes! This works, thanks. Any possibility of putting a line on the x-axis and y-axis, crossing to the point where I am clicking on the axis?

[Fangjun Jiang]

Hm, I am not aware of this capability.

[Chamath Vithanawasam]

That's quite alright, thanks for your help!

Ha, this might work

plot(rand(1,10),'o-')
[x,y]=ginput(1);
line([x x],ylim);
line(xlim,[y y]);
