MATLAB: Can someone help with this

averagevarying number of values

I am working on a script to process specific data. But I am stuck because I want to calculate an average based on x-values that I obtained with ginput. The script must be able to be used for different data sets and this means that the number of values on which an average must be calculated can vary. It can vary between 4 and 16 value's. Can someone help me?

If you use a syntax like this for ginput:

[x,y] = ginput(n)

all the input values (no matter if 4 or 16) are stored in vectors x and y. Then use mean:

mean_x  = mean(x)
mean_y  = mean(y)

to get what you want.

MATLAB: We create plots from vectors x and y. Is the reverse possible? Can you first draw a curve using cursor in the figure palette and then create vectors x and y from it

figure
axis([0 10 0 10])
N = 5;   % number of poins 
title('click anywhere') ;
[x,y] = ginput(N) ;
plot(x,y) ;
