Stop Displayed Image in UI Figure from being Moved by User

Hi,

I have this piece of code to display a logo on a UI Axes that ives in a UI figure

Although it plots well, the image isnt fixed, and the user can simply move it about with the mouse.

How can I prevent this.

%display  logo on axes
            matlabImage = imread('Images\Logo.png'); %read image file
            image(app.UIAxes,matlabImage);  %plot image in UIAxes component
            app.UIAxes.Visible = false;     %make axes invisible

Thanks

Shakirudeen - actually, imshow does allow you to specify the axes to plot the image to

'Parent' — Parent axes of image object

axes object

Parent axes of image object, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Parent' and an axes object. Use the 'Parent' name-value argument to build a UI that gives you control of the figure and axes properties.

So you would do something like

imshow(myImage, 'Parent', axesHandle);

where axesHandle is the handle to the axes where you want the image to appear.

@Geoff Hayes, many thanks for your answer.

Yes you are right, I always seem to forget about the 'Parent' property.

However, after playing with it, I realised that my earlier presumption that 'imshow' works was actually wrong, as it basicaly behaves the same was as using 'image'.

I realised that the problem of the image being movable only occurs when the parent figure is a 'UIFigure'. Otherwise it works alright when using 'Figure', either using 'image' or 'imshow'.

That said, I would prefer not to switch to using 'Figure' so the problem still remains. I'll edit my question to reflect this.
