Answer 1

[Andreas Goser]

The elements of MATLAB figures (AKA handle graphics) or of diffent types. E.g. a figure with two subplots typically has two axes. All thos elements have handles to identify them. In your code you need the "number" of the axes - the handle.

If you have just one axes, you can use the GCA command.

Note that the syntax of MATLAB's built-in function is:

image(x,y,C,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)

@Ruhi: This is also explained exhaustively in the Getting Started chapters of the documentation. It is a good strategy to read them, because you cannot handle such a powerful language as Matlab without it.
