MATLAB: GUI handles does not update

Question

Hi. Here is a problem: on my gui I have axes where I display an image. At first, my code was as following:

axes(handles.axes1);
imshow(myImage);

it worked fine so far, however, the word "axes" was underlined by orange line, suggesting that this is not a good way to implement this code. So, I found another way to activate the axis:

set(myGUIname,'CurrentAxes',handles.axes1);
imshow(myImage);

now, it works good too, however, something happened to the 'handles' of my GUI – it does not update anymore. Thus, the following:

guidata(hObject, handles);

does not save changes to the handles. I tried to make my GUI active instead of axes, but it did not help:

    set(0,'CurrentFigure',myGUIname);

Is there a way to fix it?

Answer 1

Do not use axes() or set CurrentAxes. Instead,

imshow(handles.axes1, myImage)

or

imshow(myImage, 'Parent', handles.axes1)
