Copying and Deleting Text, Arrows, and Lines

   1.

Start plot edit mode.

   2.

Select the object you want to copy or delete, and then select the appropriate editing item from the Edit menu, for example, Cut, or use the standard shortcut for your platform such as Ctrl+X for Cut on Windows.

Alternatively, you can right-click on the object and select an editing item from the pop-up menu.

• Cut removes an object from the figure window, but allows you to paste it later.
• Copy keeps the object in the figure window, and allows you to paste it later.
• Clear removes an object from the figure window.

   3.

If you selected Cut or Copy, you can now Paste the object in a figure window. Click at the location in the figure window where you want the object to appear and select Paste from the Edit menu, or use the standard shortcut for your platform, for example, Ctrl-V on Windows. Alternatively, right-click at the location in an axes and select Paste from the pop-up menu.

You can paste in the same figure window or a different figure window. If in a different figure window, plot edit mode must be on in that window.
