Read value from a graph

Hello,

I want to read a value from a graph. I´ve got two matrices (X & Y) and plotted in a graph. I want to know the value of Y when i enter the value of X.

PLEASE help me with a code for this problem.

.

CODE:

x=[-879.320000000000;-877.030000000000;-873.430000000000;-869.850000000000;

Not sure to understand how you would like to 'enter' the value of x, but here is a very simple example:

User_x = inputdlg('Enter a value for x'); % Ask the user what value of x he wants

while ~any(ismember(str2double(User_x),x)) % Check if the entered value is indeed in X.
    User_x = inputdlg('Enter a value for x');    
end

X_index = find(str2double(User_x) == x,1,'first') % Find the index in y
Y_value = y(X_index); % Find the corresponding value

Message = sprintf('The corrsponding y-value is %0.12f \n',Y_value); % Write a message

msgbox(Message) % Display the message

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your answer, but it isn't what i need. I want to use this command for my simulink simulation. I attached my programm. I want to search for the 'value' of 'Ethalpy Power_1' in the graph (X, Y) and then the Y-value have to appear. So i can use it in my other graph.

If i've got this command, the chart-block will be removed.

Hopefully you (or somebody else) got the answer for this problem.
