Marking the peak of a plot automatically without having to click on it

Hi,
Is it possible to mark the peak of a plot automatically with a command without having to to mark on each plot.

If you have the Signal Processing Toobox, I suggest the findpeaks function with two outputs so that you get the value of the function at the peak as well as the index of your x-variable at which the peak occurs.
For example:
[Peak, PeakIdx] = findpeaks(Y);
and the label would then be:
text(x(PeakIdx), Peak, sprintf('Peak = %6.3f', Peak));
using the text command.
To illustrate:
X = [0:0.1:pi]';
Y = sin(X);
[Peak, PeakIdx] = findpeaks(Y);
figure(1)
plot(X, Y)
text(X(PeakIdx), Peak, sprintf('Peak = %6.3f', Peak))

Hi
What if I have multiple peaks and I want the apply the label respectively? How should I write the text command?
Thank you!

Do you know the value of the peak?, then yes, it's easy.
x = randn(100,1);
[val,I] = max(x);
plot(x); hold on;
plot(I,val,'r^','markerfacecolor',[1 0 0])

no i do not know the values of the peak, i want the value at the peak to also be visible. Same as using the data cursor on a plot directly. it a bunch of signals and i want to run a script on all, i would also like my script to mark the peaks automatically so i do not need to mark each plot before saving
are you looking for one single maximum value, or are you looking for local peaks (i.e. the peaks of a sine wave where there can be several per plot)?
Then Wayne's code above should work fine.
But the value is not displayed on the plot with Wayne's code
It should be; can you provide some sample data?

I also need the value at that peak to be displayed. Same as using the data cursor on a plot to mark points. but i want the data cursor to mark the peaks in my plot automatically so i do not need to mark it directly
Then use the output of the peakfinder and a simple TEXT command.
thanks, but what do you mean by simple TEXT command
