I want to do something like this:

a=axes;
set(a,'xlim',[-2 2]);
set(a,'ylim',[-2 2]);
[x y] = ginput;

%click a bunch of points

%draw a spline through the points
xx=-2:.01:2;
yy=spline(x, y, xx);

the problem seems to be that the points I have clicked are
not uniformly spaced (clearly) so i get the following:
"The data sites should be distinct."

I've used meshgrid before, but it seems to be more for
plotting 3d functions.. i'm not sure how to "snap" these
coordinates to a grid without giving them some kind of "z"
value.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave

Not having the points uniformly spaced does not cause that problem.
What -would- cause that problem is clicking the same location twice,
such as if you were to close a curve. The message is telling you
that all of the point pairs must be unique.

ah ok , great - I don't think I had clicked exactly in the
same point, I think two points just had the same X
coordinate - is this indeed the reason for that error?
