Displaying series of images in an axes in a GUI

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi all, I have a GUI which has a axes in it apart from other elements. The functions called in callbacks generate different figures, say 5 in number. I want to display them in the axes one by one,such that user can see the previous or next image by pushing two push buttons provided. What is the best way to do this. Thanks in advance.

function testimg
figure
pbh = uicontrol(gcf,'Style','pushbutton','String','Next',...
'Position',[10 20 60 40],...
'callback',@newimg);
pbh1 = uicontrol(gcf,'Style','pushbutton','String','Previous',...
'Position',[10 50 60 40],...
'callback',@oldimg);
axes
text(0.2,0.5,'Press the buttons Next or Previous to see the images')
ImGN=1;
function newimg(obj,event)
showimg
ImGN=ImGN+1;
if ImGN>5
ImGN=1;
end
end
function oldimg(obj,event)
showimg
ImGN=ImGN-1;
if ImGN<1
ImGN=5;
end
end
function showimg(obj,event)
switch ImGN
case 1
spy
case 2
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(30);
surfc(X,Y,Z)
case 3
x = -2.9:0.2:2.9;
bar(x,exp(-x.*x),'r')
case 4
x = -2.9:0.2:2.9;
plot(x,sin(x))
case 5
t = 0:pi/50:10*pi;
plot3(sin(t),cos(t),t)
grid on
axis square
end
end
end

Thanks a lot Silva. Though this is not exactly what i want, I don't have any better option, so I would go by this. Thanks to all.

Use the axes(H) command to set the current axis to your axis of choice
doc axes

Well if you already have the data then just cla (clear axis) and call plot again with the new data?
That seems to simple a solution, I don't think I'm understanding you correctly.
