image changing gui matlab

Hi, I´d like to make a code that displays an image in a gui from a vector. I mean, I´ve got a vector that has the values 0,1,2 and I need to display in a gui an image depend on the value. I´ve got no idea to make this. Thank you.

What are the dimensions of your vector? How are these three numbers (or are there more?) mapped to colours?

Hi, thank you for your response. The vector dimensions are 1x34740. It only has 0,1, 2 and 3 and what I need is: when I have a 0 I need to display an arm image(brazo22) in repose, when is 1 I need to display an arm image in flexion(brazo11) ,when is 2 I need to display an arm image in extension (brazo33) and when it has a 3 I need to display the same image as when It's in repose(brazo22). I´ll attach a zip that contains the gui(poyecto.fig) the function of the gui(proyecto.m), the images of the arm, another function that is the function where I extracted the code for the gui(SolucionP2_eje2.m) and a data archive(EMG 2 channel Wrist Flex_Ext_Raw.mat). In both of the .m archives is a vector called "salida" that is the vector with the 3 values. A brief summary of what I need is: I have a data archive that I have processed and then make a vector "salida" for the values in the previous data. Now I need to make a gui for that 3 values to display an image deppend on the value. Sorry for my bad english but I'm trying the best. Thank you.

So once you have created the salida array you need to determine which GUI action will invoke the process to display all the images one after the other. Let's assume that you have a pushbutton to do this. In the callback, you would place all of your code (that is right now in the OpeningFcn) to create the salida array, load the three images, and then cycle through each value in the array. Something like

image0 = imread('brazo22.jpg');
image1 = imread('brazo11.jpg');
image2 = imread('brazo33.jpg');
for k = 1:length(salida)
    value = salida(k);
    if value == 0 || value == 3
        imshow(image0);
    elseif value == 1
        imshow(image1);
    elseif value == 2
        imshow(image2);
    else
        fprintf('error - invalid value: %d!\n', value)
    end
    pause(1.0);   % <---- pause for one second
end

You can use a switch statement instead of the if/elseif if you'd rather. So we get the value of the kth element of the array, show the appropriate image (in the axes of your GUI), pause for one second (you can change this) and then move to the next element.

Thank you very much, but I need the loop to be a little bit faster like a millisecond because there is a lot of elements in salida. Could that be possible?

[Geoff Hayes]

You can try changing the input to pause to

pause(0.001); 

and see what happens.
