As ImageAnalyst said there is no inbuild feature in ginput that supports your requirement. However, I came up with the following workaround:
(a) Query single points from ginput in a loop
(b) [For selecting points] If the input was from a left click, add the data to an array/structure
(c) [For removing points] If the input was from a right click, query the nearest neighbor from the array/structure and remove it from the dataset.
A minimal example is below for:
while(1)
[Imx, Imy , mb]=ginput(1);
if mb==1
data(:,count)=[Imx,Imy];
% optionally display points
handlesPointsInImage(:,count)=plot(Imx,Imy,'.r');
end
if mb==3
ind=knnsearch(data(1:2,:)',[Imx,Imy]);
data(:,ind)=[];
% if points were displayed
delete(handlesPointsInImage(:,ind));
handlesPointsInImage(:,ind)=[];
end
if mb==2 % Middle mouse button exits the pick mode
break;
end
count = count +1;
end
