error while clearing axes...

while designing matlab GUI i inserted a background image in the GUI... i used the following code in the opening function to insert the background image...

% create an axes that spans the whole gui

ah=axes('unit','normalized','position',[0 0 1 1]);

%import the background image and show it on the axes

bg=imread('images.jpg');imagesc(bg);

% prevent plotting over the background and turn the axes off

set(ah,'handlevisibility','off');

%make sure that the background is behind all the uicontrols

uistack(ah,'bottom');

my GUI contains many axes... on the first execution everything works well... now when i load the input image the second time i wanted to clear all the axes... so i used the following code in the load image function....

arrayfun(@cla,findall(0,'type','axes'));

but when this is executed the background image i inserted also goes...what shud i do to retain the background image when all the other axes are being cleared...
