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.

I would use this script. With it, you choose what .fig to import and in what axes you want to display it. After that, the rest is easy.

Suppose your .fig files are something like:

plot1.fig
plot2.fig
...
plot6.fig

Suppose also you have defined a variable where you store the current .fig index.

handles.currentFig = 1;

Then, the callbacks would be something like this:

function pushbuttonLast_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.output = hObject;
...
handles.currentFig = handles.currentFig - 1;
importfig(['plot' int2str(handles.currentFig) '.fig'], handles.axes);
...
guidata(hObject, handles);

function pushbuttonNext_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.output = hObject;
...
handles.currentFig = handles.currentFig + 1;
importfig(['plot' int2str(handles.currentFig) '.fig'], handles.axes);
...
guidata(hObject, handles);

Just remember to validate that handles.currentFig never goes under or over the total number of .fig files you have. Hope this helps =)

I think importfig is not a matlab default function.

May be it is in FEX or somewhere else!

Yes, it is a file in the FEX. I included the link in the first sentence of my answer ;-) !

Why not simply use hgload,

figure(handle.axes)

hgload('...

[Arturo Moncada-Torres]

To be honest, I have not used that function =P .
