How can I get a user to draw a line using their mouse in an App Designer app using R2019a?
Edit: If App Designer does not support it, will GUIDE?
Thanks in advance.

If you have the image processing toolbox, use drawline(). Something will have to trigger the function such as a button press or context menu selection. The example below responds to a button press which will then allow the user to click-and-drag a single line on an existing UIAxes.
function ButtonPushed(app, event)
hold(app.UIAxes, 'on')
drawline(app.UIAxes)
% ^^^^^^^^^^ your ui axis handle
end

Ok, good! If you start using a more recent release you could implement it in app designer, too (r2019b or later).
