I have created a code and want to add an image at the back. But doing that is creating problems in showing outputs of in existing axes i.e image is coming at the back but hiding another axes. what should i do?

Let me ask this another way:

If I were to insert a switch under function axes1_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles) show a picture according to which button is pushed, how would I do what?

Or what handle is being set/changed by the line axes(hObject), if I were to insert code for each button?

Thanks

EDIT:

This website is really hard to work with. Sorry for double post.

NVM, got that sorted.

How do I get the picture to change when I push a button, select from a menu or click on the screen?

I’m trying to write a music composition program.

I created a GUI with an axis and inserted a picture, which worked fine. But when I inserted buttons, it stopped showing the picture, and I couldn’t open the callback because “Tag must be a legal variable name for GUIDE to append a callback function prototype to the application M-file.”

hi doug,

when i created a background using your tutorial, it worked very well. But when i add a panel with a different color over the background, i can only see the title of the panel.

is there any way i can make the entire body of the panel visible?

Answer to ur probelm jack…

trz this piece of code
axes(hObject)
hold on;
image(imread(‘stalkswt.jpg’))
set(gca , ‘XTick’ , [ ]);
set(gca , ‘YTick’ , [ ]);
set(gca , ‘ZTick’ , [ ]);

the axes property after executing clears off the properties and so u need to use ‘hold’

Yes I have the same problem with Vaibhav Bedia. After using this method, the TAG of the axes becomes empty and if I modify any parts of the gui window, the image disappear unless I manually reset the TAG and callback function. Looking for a solution.

Tasha,

I would recommend this video:

http://blogs.mathworks.com/pick/2008/05/13/accessing-data-from-one-widget-to-another-in-guide/

It will show you how to get data from one uicontrol (like an editbox) and use it as input in the callback of another.

I am sorry, but I am not too clear on your second question. Please contact support@mathworks.com with a more detailed question.

Doug
