I have a GUI with 4 axes but I only want the cursor to work on 2 of them (the other two are images). How can I disable the cursor over the 2 static axes? I've done similar things with SetAllowAxesZoom to disallow zooming, but I can't figure out how to disallow cursoring.

The reason I want to disallow cursoring is so irrelevant datatips don't pop up over my axes.

Set the HitTest property off on any object you don't want to be clickable.

However, I am not certain what you mean by "disable the cursor".

Possibly you want to set the figure WindowButtonMotionFcn callback so that
when the cursor enters the prohibited area, you set(gcf, 'CurrentPoint', V) to
some V outside of the prohibited area.

I mean I don't want the cursor tool to be active over those axes, so that a user cannot click on them and have a datatip pop up. The axes are just there for displaying images, I don't want datatips popping up on them. But other axes are used for viewing data so I want datatips there, so I can't just turn off the datacursormode for the whole figure.

set(ImageHandle, 'HitTest', 'off')

prevents new datatips from being created as a result of clicking on that
image. It does not, however, prevent any existing data type from being dragged.
