[final_rect,btn]=rubberbox(initial_rect, edition_mode)

Arguments

initial_rect

Examples

clf
plot2d()
a = gca();
db = a.data_bounds;
x0 = (db(1)*2+db(2))/3;
dx = (db(2)-db(1))/3;
y0 = (db(3)+db(4)*2)/3;
dy = (db(4)-db(3))/3;
disp(gettext("With an initial starting corner:"))
r = rubberbox([x0 y0])
disp(gettext("With an initial box:"))
r = rubberbox([x0-dx/4 y0+dy/5 2*dx dy])
disp(gettext("In press -- drag -- release mode selection:"))
r = rubberbox(%t)
disp(gettext("In starting click -- drag -- stopping click mode selection:"))
r = rubberbox()
