About the tableplot Example

The tableplot example GUI presents data in a three-column table (a uitable

object) and enables the user to plot any column of data as a line graph. When

the user selects data values in the table, the plot displays markers for the

selected observations. This technique is called data brushing, and is available

in M ATLAB. (See “Marking Up Graphs with Data Brushing”.) The data

brushing performed by this GUI does not rely on MATLAB data brushing,

because that feature does not apply to uitables. The GUI, with its main

components called out, looks like this w hen you first open it.
