Change documentation to note that ginput is for 2-D plots, but that "currentpoint" can be used for 3-D plots.

I don't know what the other product does, but I do know there is a select3d m-file on the file exchange that specifically adds this capability; It doesn't look like they do anything better either but leave it to users.

Btw, I once implemented FLTKs axes currentpoint as specified by ML for 3D plots as vector perpendicular to the image plane through that point. For example:

so we could easily return more than x, y for 3D plots if we want. What does the other produkt return for 3D plots?

Using ginput on a 3-D plot, such as sombrero, returns x, y values that are not those of the selected point. It may be able to transform the values into the correct ones by working with the azimuth and elevation returned from view(), but it certainly isn't straightforward. It's probably easiest to just document that ginput works best for 2-D plots.
