How can I permute axes of a figure after the figure is created?

I know I could do like

A = permute(A, [1 3 2]);
image(A,...)

however the problem is, that the figure is produced dynamically and it would save me much effort to have something like:

get the handle of the current figure (and children)
extract x and y axes
permute them.

Thanks in advance

You can get the X and Y data of the Image by doing the following:

>> A

A =

       1     2
       3     4

>> image(A)
>> h = image(A);
>> h.XData

ans =

       1     2

>> h.YData

ans =

       1     2

Once you have the new X and Y data for the axes, you update the image by doing the following:

h.XData = [2 1];
h.YData = [2 1];

However, please not that this is for MATLAB R2014b and later. You can also use the "get" and "set" functions as shown in the following documentation pages:
