New to MATLAB - How to use imread/imshow commands?

Hi,

I am trying to show an image through MATLAB, and I have no idea how to use the imread/imshow commands.

When I try to use imread:

>>x = imread(C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop\\untitled,png)

I get this back:

 untitled = imread(C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop\\untitled,png)
                    |
Error: Unexpected MATLAB operator.

How do I read an image that is located on my desktop? Also, how can I show that image through MATLAB?

You need to put the string in quotes. Also not sure about the double \\

I = imread('C:\Users\username\Desktop\untitled.png')

X=imread('picture name.png')
figure;
imshow(X);

save your picture in that folder where you save your matlab progam and then write this code it will show you your image
