MATLAB: Imshow and GUI axis handles

Question

I have to display an image in a GUI figure. In the figure there are two axes.

How can I tell

 imshow

to display the image in the axis I want? With

 plot

I could use

 plot(handles.axis1,image)

but this doesn't work for imshow (<http://www.mathworks.it/it/help/images/ref/imshow.html>)! The code

 imshow(handles.axis1,image)

is not allowed,

 imshow

doesn't accept axis handles.

Any suggestion to solve this issue?

Answer 1

You can specify the axes in the call to imshow with the 'Parent' option:

imshow(yourImage, 'Parent', handles.axesImage);

or you can specify it with the axes function in advance of calling imshow():

axes(handles.axesImage);
imshow(yourImage);
