how can i insert photo to a graph location

Hello all,

i try to insert a photo to axes in GUI. In these axes, only the image will be seen but the axis of the graph will not be visible. how can I do that?

if handles.POP_photo == 2
    axes(handles.photo);
    imshow('asd.jpg');
end

thanks

This is the default behavior when displaying an image in an axes. You can turn the axis back on using the following syntax: axis(handles.axes1,'on')

Here's an example of equivalent steps outside of a gui.

img = imread('peppers.png');
imshow(img)
axis on

thanks. it works but how can i get rid off axis?

[Cris LaPierre]

I am confused. In your original question, you asked how to show the axis. Now you want to get rid of it? Could you be a little more descriptive in what you are trying to do?

axis('on', 'image'); % Show tick marks and tick labels.
axis('off', 'image'); % Hide tick marks and tick labels.

Doesn't imshow() do it?

ax1 = subplot(2,1,1);
ax2 = subplot(2,1,2);
axes(ax1);
imshow('Saturn_Hexagon.png'); % image showing in ax1; no lines or ticks showing in ax1

To put an image onto a graph, see this demo:

% Draw a small image inset in the upper right corner of a larger plot.
% Ref: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/60376-how-to-make-an-inset-of-matlab-figure-inside-the-figure#comment_654093
clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
%workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 18;
x = linspace(0, 1);
y1 = sin(2*pi*x);
%figure(1)
% plot on large axes
plot(x, y1, 'LineWidth', 2)
grid on;
ax1 = gca; % Store handle to axes 1.
% Create smaller axes in top right, and plot on it
% Store handle to axes 2 in ax2.
ax2 = axes('Position',[.6 .6 .3 .3])

ax2 = 
  Axes with properties:

             XLim: [0 1]
             YLim: [0 1]
           XScale: 'linear'
           YScale: 'linear'
    GridLineStyle: '-'
         Position: [0.6 0.6 0.3 0.3]
            Units: 'normalized'

  Show all properties

box on;
fileName = 'peppers.png';
rgbImage = imread(fileName);
imshow(rgbImage);
axis('on', 'image');
% Now draw something back on axis 1
hold(ax1, 'on'); % Don't blow away existing curve.
y2 = cos(2*pi*x/0.7);
plot(ax1, x, y2, 'r-', 'LineWidth', 2);
