Disable middle mouse button interaction with axes
显示 更早的评论
Is it possible to disable the middle mouse button interacting with axes?
The two solutions I've seen so far are:
1) disable all mouse interactions
2) override the mouse down function on the axes
I'd like to maintain interactivity and not block the button down function. Is there a more specific approach that can be used?

Hi Jim,
There is no built-in MATLAB property or callback to specifically disable only the middle mouse button’s default interaction with axes (like panning/zooming), while leaving all other interactions untouched and without blocking the ButtonDownFcn.A. Custom WindowButtonDownFcn Filtering
This can be a workaround , You can set a WindowButtonDownFcn on the figure, check if the middle button is pressed, and (optionally) interrupt or ignore the event. You cannot truly "block" the built-in pan/zoom/rotate tools from within this callback.
fig = gcf;
fig.WindowButtonDownFcn = @(src,evt) ...
disp(['Button: ', num2str(fig.SelectionType)]);
- fig.SelectionType will be 'extend' for middle mouse.
- You could, for example, set the pan tool off if middle is detected.
