I have a GUI with several axes...I want to update the plot on axes2 as a result of clicking the cursor on axes1. I've tried calling a plotting function from within the UpdateFcn for axes1 but it causes some weird behavior (the datatip shows an error, gets locked in "move" mode like the mouse button is held down, and an extra figure window pops up) with a copy of axes2.

Any ideas on how I can cause a cursor click on axes1 to effect a change on axes2?

To clarify, I mean the actual cursor tool, not the mouse button, so I don't think the ButtonDownFunction will work... I want to click a point on the graph on axes1 using the cursor tool, and then do some things based on what particular data point is clicked.

ButtondownFcn callback of axes1 ?

Note that that callback would not normally fire when the cursor is positioned
over a graphics object within the axes. The HitTest property of the contained
objects would have to be off.
