Open MATLAB file from another directory

I want to open MATLAB figure files from another directory than they were originally stored. Is this possible? For this I guess I would have to change the underlying path... The program is now giving me this warning: 'Could not find appropriate function on path loading function handle.'

Please post the code which causes the error. Otherwise it is hard to guess blindly.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I think you mean just to load an image that is not on your current path.

Two ways of doing this:

1. Add the directory to your path

addpath('<your_path>');

2. Specify the path in the open command

open('<your_path>')
(use winopen() if the figure is not a matlab figure)
