You can change the looks by changing cursor type...

set(gcf, 'pointer', 'crosshair');

And then you can change it back by:

set(gcf, 'pointer', 'arrow');

There is also other options than crosshair, but you can probably look that up yourself.

Thank you Jakob.. ^^

but, it's not change when i use "ginput"..

i hope it can change when i put some point to my axes.. how can make it like that..?? Thank you...

You could use 'ButtonDownFcn' instead of 'ginput'. It's a bit more work, but makes it more customizable.

Pointers are handled by the operating system, and are one-bit (black and white) with a 1 bit mask (transparent or not). It is not possible to change the pointer color.
