Adding buttons and menus

One of the properties of graphical objects (called ButtonDownFcn) describes what happens if there's a mouse click on the object, thus permitting complex user-interaction.

% This displays a simple figure and some buttons 
% It needs a command called rotating to work
uicontrol('style','pushbutton','string','rotate',...
'ButtonDownFcn','rotating','Enable','off');
mesh(peaks(10))

Put this code into rotating.m

% rotaing.m
[az, el ] = view;
az=az+45;
view(az, el)
