It seems you are looking to apply Event Compression within a MATLAB figure, aiming to ensure that only the most recent event is processed while discarding others, much like a mutex mechanism in programming.
Here is a MATLAB code example that initiates a MATLAB figure which you can build upon to incorporate event compression:
f = figure();
f.WindowButtonMotionFcn = @(fig, eve) btnCb(fig);
f.UserData.isBusy = false;
function btnCb(fig)
if fig.UserData.isBusy
return;
end
fig.UserData.isBusy = true;
currentPoint = get(fig, 'CurrentPoint');
disp(num2str(currentPoint(1,2)) + ", " + num2str(currentPoint(1,2)));
pause(1); % Simulation of high compute task.
fig.UserData.isBusy = false;
end
I hope this serves as a helpful starting point for your implementation.
