How can I get the ordinal value of the most recent subplot that a user clicked (now that gca has been updated to return an object not a double)?

I had previously used gca to return a numerical value, but now it returns an object.

I need to get the ordinal value of a subplot.

What should I do instead?

Hi,

According to my understanding you want to obtain the ordinal values of current axes in a plot. You can do that by referring the object’s (gca) properties. Here is a sample code:

 % plot data 
x = [1:4]; 
y = [2:2:8]; 
plot(x,y); 
 
% get Ordinal values 
ax = gca; 
xOrd = ax.XLim; 
yOrd = ax.YLim;
