MATLAB: How to display multiple images in one figure window using for loop

displayimages

Is there a way for me to be able to read/display 100 images (0001.png – 0100.png) without having to type them all manually like below? All 100 images are in a folder if that helps (C:\Users\pittsl\Desktop\Matlab\train\cup). 
files = {'0001.png', '0002.png','0003.png','0004.png','0005.png',};
for K = 1 : 5
  this_image = imread(files{K});
  ax = subplot(1, 5, K);
  imshow(this_image, 'Parent', ax);
end

Best Answer

% Inputs: folder and file extension
% Will plot all files with the chosen extension in the chosen folder 
folder = 'C:\Users\pittsl\Desktop\Matlab\train\cup';
ext = 'png'; %extension, no dot
% Get list of all files
content = dir(folder);
allfiles = {content.name};
isExt = endsWith(allfiles,['.',ext],'IgnoreCase',true);  % req. r2016b or later https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/endswith.html
files = allfiles(isExt);
% Determine subplot layout
nImages = numel(files);
dimN = ceil(sqrt(nImages));
dimM = ceil(nImages/dimN);
nrows = min(dimN, dimM);
ncols = max(dimN, dimM);
% Plot them
for K = 1:nImages
    this_image = imread(fullfile(folder,files{K}));
    ax = subplot(nrows,ncols, K);
    imshow(this_image, 'Parent', ax);
end
