Apparently rest slice viewer was made for HG1 releases (which have numerical handles), and so is not compatible with HG2 releases (R2014b and newer).

This specific instance can be fixed by explicitly loading the number (which might have been turned off)

set(theFig, 'DeleteFcn', sprintf('rest_sliceviewer(''Delete'', %g);', get(theFig,'Number')) );

Edit: this change will keep the code compatible with prior releases, although there may be many other things you will have to change.

Thanks..but still it shows the same error

Really? Does it still say "Error using sprintf Function is not defined for 'matlab.ui.Figure' inputs." for this same line? I don't understand that, because it doesn't use the figure object as an argument for sprintf anymore. Have you close all instances of this function before retrying?
