MATLAB: ButtonDownFcn for axes not working.

axes buttondownfcn

Hi everyone, i have two axes, axes1 and axes2. axes1 contains an image, and axes2 is empty. I want the axes1 image to get copied on axes2, when i click axes1 image body. I tried the following:
set(handles.axes1,'ButtonDownFcn',{@copyImg,img});
function copyImg(img)
    axes(handles.axes2);
    imshow(img);
end
But no response when I click the image. What am I doing wrong ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance !

The image is absorbing the clicks. You need to turn off its Hittest property if you are using R2014a or earlier, and for R2014b or later, turn off its PickableParts property.
