Can Matlab determine cursor position continuously?

I have an image plot that was created with "imagesc", and I can use ginput to select (x,y) points on the image, then I can read the value of that particular pixel which I output to a figure that accompanies the image.
What I would like to do is have the (x,y) point and pixel value output continuously as I "mouse over" the image, without clicking. Can this be done?

The WindowButtonMotionFcn can help:
FigH = figure('WindowButtonMotionFcn', @MotionFcn)
function MotionFcn(FigH, EventData)
get(FigH, 'CurrentPoint')
get(get(FigH, 'CurrentAxes'), 'CurrentPoint')
Now the current point is written to the command window, if the mouse if moved over the figure.

No, it is not possible to have the cursor position updated continuously. PS/2 and USB mice and serial mice only send coordinate updates periodically, not continuously. (Old joysticks, on the other hand, used to have analog position signals; with those and an analog to digital convertor, you could update the position as fast as the convertor could run.)

@Walter: I think the frequency of updates of the pixel position is limited by the runtime of the Matlab function for evaluating. For a fast movement the mouse position will not be displayed for all pixels.
Anyhow, I assume that "without clicking" is more important for the OP than a real continuity.

Mice do not report for every pixel! USB mice, by default, poll at a maximum of 125 Hz; see http://www.nextlevelgamer.com/tweaks/optimizing-your-usb-mouse-polling-rate
I have seen reports that PS/2 mice max out at 125 Hz but are often appreciably slower.
