Passing an axes handlle to a function

I have created a function in which I want to be able to take an image from an axes1 component and redraw on another axes component...with this target axes component being passed as n argument. This is my attempt:

The function:

function rescaleImage(handles,str)
%Get image on axes1
axes(handles.axes1)
image1=getimage(handles.axes1);

%Create handle for new placement of image
%Use str argument to pass the axes handle.
str2func(str)
imshow(image1,[])

Calling the function to redraw the image onto axes3.

rescaleImage(handles,'handles.axes3')

There is no error message, but the image does not redraw on axes3.

[Walter Roberson]

function rescaleImage(handles,str)
%Get image on axes1
axes(handles.axes1)
image1 = getimage(handles.axes1);

%Create handle for new placement of image
%Use str argument to pass the axes handle
imshow(image1,[], 'Parent', handles.(str))

and instead of passing 'handles.axes3' pass 'axes3'

Perfect, thank you Walter
