Image is not displayed using imshow (Digital Image Processing)

Hello All,

I am new to the Digital Image processing using MATLAB. I tried one simple example given in the tutorials but I am not getting any output. So can somebody please tell me where am I going wrong? Code is as follows:

I = imread('COMSOL Model.jpg');
imshow(I);

The file which is supposed to display is also attached. I am getting empty plot/figure after running this code. So can somebody tell me what is going wrong here?

Cannot replicate the problem here. It works for me. Do you get any errors? Try restarting MATLAB.

Hey, Thanks for reply, I am using MATLAB R2014b. I am getting following messages in command window when I run this code.

I'd call the Mathworks on that one. Of course, why don't you just try upgrading to R2016a?

It seems the OpenGL drivers of your system are outdated. Restart MATLAB and try to plot again. If you still get the same error, try plotting a basic plot. if it does not work, you might have to upgrade your drivers.
