i want to use imfreehand on an image displayed on axes and display the selected area on clicking an button in the same axes in GUI but when i am done with imfreehand and while i am using imshow to display it i get error

{ this the error i get:

Error using images.internal.imageDisplayParsePVPairs>parseParamValuePairs (line 150) Function IMAGEDISPLAYPARSEPVPAIRS expected an even number of parameter/value arguments.

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton9. function pushbutton9_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles) % hObject handle to pushbutton9 (see GCBO) % eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB % handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

{ This is the code:

axes(handles.axes7); % Assuming you want axes2 to be the one you draw in. handleToDrawing = imfreehand(handles.axes7); %i=imfreehand; %position = wait(i); M = ~i.createMask(); mask(:,:,1)=M; mask(:,:,2)=M; mask(:,:,3)=M; I(mask)=255; axes(handles.axes7); imshow(I);

}

Well almost a year later but if you still need an answer, here's something that worked for me:

Assume you have an image displayed on 'axis1' and want to push a button, use imfreehand() and then display the ROI of the image in a new axis, 'axis2'. Also lets say 'data' is whay is displayed in 'axis1'.

This should work for the pushbutton:

function DrawROIButton_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
    h = imfreehand(handles.axis1);                  %call imfreehand on what is displayed in axis1
    handles.mask = h.createMask();                  %create and store binary mask in handles.mask
    axes(handles.axis2);                            
    imshow(handles.mask.*handles.data);             %Dispy the result of the original image and mask in axis2
    guidata(hObject,handles);

Hope it helps, if you still need it
