xcoord

  Real scalar: x-coordinate of the mouse pointer when the click or event occurred, in current graphic scale (see gca()).

  Real scalar (integer value): number of the window where the action occurred.

cbmenu

  String: callback associated to a menu if `xclick` returns due to a click on a menu. In this case, `ibutton`, `xcoord`, `ycoord`, and `iwin` take arbitrary values.

flag

  Real scalar (integer value): If present, the click event queue is not cleared when entering xclick.

## Description
