Hi Abdulbagi,
I understand that you are display the Z coordinate of a 3D plot on a numeric edit field in MATLAB app designer.
You can do this in the following manner:
methods (Access = private)
function output_txt = myUpdateFcn(app,info)
% Get the datatip position
z = info.Position(3);
y = info.Position(2);
x = info.Position(1);
% Update the NumericEditField with the Z coordinate
app.EditField.Value = z;
% Create the datatip text
output_txt = {sprintf('X: %.3f', x), sprintf('Y: %.3f', y), sprintf('Z: %.3f', z)};
end
end
% Callbacks that handle component events
methods (Access = private)
% Code that executes after component creation
function startupFcn(app)
x = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9];
y = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9];
z = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9];
plot3(app.UIAxes, x, y, z, 'o-', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 8);
dcm = datacursormode(app.UIFigure);
dcm.Enable = 'on';
dcm.DisplayStyle = 'datatip';
dcm.UpdateFcn = @(src, event)myUpdateFcn(app, event);
end
end
In the “startup” function, a 3D line plot is generated using random data. Then the “datacursormode” object (“dcm”) is enabled and set to display datatips. The “UpdateFcn” property is set to the “myUpdateFcn” function, which will be called when the datatip is updated.
Inside “myUpdateFcn”, the X, Y, and Z coordinates are extracted from the “info.Position” property. The Z coordinate is then assigned to the “Value” property of the “NumericEditField” component (app.EditField.Value = z;). The datatip text is created using “sprint” to format the X, Y, and Z coordinates with three decimal places.
For more information about “datacursormode”, you can refer to the following documentation link:
I hope this helps!

Nivedita.
