How to Re-position DataCursormode 'Window'

So Matlab figures have a datacursormode that either show up as a datatip or a window. I would like to make use of the window but unfortunately every time I turn it on it appears on the bottom right of the figure. Currently I am using a custom UpdateFcn for the datacursormode, and cannot figure out a way to program the window to pop up in a specific position on my figure -- I am wondering if this is possible.

Thanks!

Hello Kevin,

You could use the "findall" function with the name-value pair 'Tag', 'DataCursorMode:FigurePanel' to obtain the handle to the Data Cursor window. Following this, you could use the property "Position" of the obtained handle to set the desired position.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Karun, this is perfect! Thank you! I have an additional question regarding this is:

So I am able to set the position of the data cursor once the user selects a data point, as it triggers the UpdateFcn. However, is there a way to set the position upon clicking the 'datacursormode' icon? Because when it is first clicked, it is set to its default position on the bottom right.
