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.

xiaolan,

You can put an image in a button like this:

a = uicontrol(’style’,'pushbutton’)
set(a,’cdata’,rand(10,10,3))

I set he cdata to a random RGB matrix, but you can use whatever you like.

I am having some problems with the background image.Things work fine once but if i close MATLAB and start the GUI again the axes loses its TAG and hence the axes becomes invisible.I need to rename it manually everytime.Is there a way to solve this?

With a little work, IMAGE should do fine here also. It is just that IMSHOW, from the image processing toolbox, takes care of many book keeping type tasks for you so your image always looks great.

Nifty idea. Is there a way to do this without using imshow from the Image Processing Toolbox, with just ‘plain’ Matlab?

Thanks,
Craig
