Selecting the nearest data point in a 2-D plot

Hi,
Is it possible to select the nearest data point rather select any point on the graph? I have seen "ginput" and "getpts" function. Both of these select the point that we click not the nearest data point.
For example you can view thw bottom code
x = 0:0.1:10;
for C=1:3
za = C;
y = (x.^za);
hg = figure(1);
plot(x,y);hold on;
[xda(:,C),yda(:,C)] = ginput(2);
%[xda(:,C),yda(:,C)] = getpts(hg);
display(za);
end

Try to perform difference (and take minimum of absolute) between both ginput data point and original data and take out the index.
[val,idx]=min(abs(ginput_data - original_data));
then use this idx to go to the original data (which is the nearest point) instead of any point on axes.

Using difference you just find min(dx) and min(dy). Use minimum distance instead (e.g. pdist2)
Also, a small addition to darova's comment. pdist2 needs Statistcs and machine learning toolbox.
