Hello,

I have been working with "plot profile" graphs and am having some trouble. As you scroll over the plot a display in the bottom right corner shows the X (distance) and Y (gray value) values of where the cursor is currently located and all I want is those values but I can't seem to get them out of imageJ. I can hit list or copy to get a list of all of the X and Y values but I want to be able to return the values of specifically selected points.
Simply put, I want a tool that allows me to click on the graph and drop the X and Y values of the selected point in the log or results window. I know I could just look at them and type them in but we work with a very high volume of these graphs and an automated version would save a lot of time.

getCursorLoc or getCoordinates functions haven't been working form me as they work on a different coordinate system. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
