MATLAB: Mouse Click callback on an image – temporarily disable

buttondownfcncallbackimage

Hello, I have a GUI (created by guide) where everytime I load an image and display in an axes component I assign a button down function (called ImageClickCallback) so everytime I click on the image my function ImageClickallback executes. This all works fine.
axes(handles.axes1) 
imageHandle=imshow(img,[low,high]);                     % Display Image
set(imageHandle,'ButtonDownFcn',@ImageClickCallback);   % Assign callback to ButtonDown event
I am wanting to now use a mouse click on the image to draw lines (I know how to do this) but everytime I click the image the original ImageClickCallback executes. So my question is can I pause the original ButtonDownFcn callback ?
Thanks

Jason - why not just remove the original callback just prior to wanting to draw the lines
set(imageHandle,'ButtonDownFcn',[]);
You could then restore it later when needed.
