function [x,y]=gpos(h_axes)
%GPOS Get current position of cusor and return its coordinates in axes with handle h_axes
% h_axes - handle of specified axes
% [x,y]  - cursor coordinates in axes h_aexs
%
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Note:
%  1. This function should be called in the figure callback WindowButtonMotionFcn.
%  2. It works like GINPUT provided by Matlab,but it traces the position
%       of cursor without click and is designed for 2-D axes.
%  3. It can also work even the units of figure and axes are inconsistent,
%       or the direction of axes is reversed.
