You could use imtool for that if you have the image processing toolbox.

You can call impixelinfo(), if you have the Image Processing Toolbox. This will put up a label in your figure that gives you the x,y (column, row) coordinates and the intensity value(s) of the image. Alternatively you can use ginput(1) to get a coordinate and use
grayPixelValue = imageArray(row, column);
to get the gray level in a gray scale image, or
rgbPixelValue = imageArray(row, column, :);
rgbPixelValue = impixel(imageArray, row, column); % Alternative way.
to get the red, green, and blue intensity values in an RGB image.

I'm sorry, i guess i did not elaborate more. what i mean is that i needed to find the intensity of the image using the colormap command and place it in Gui.
Thanks for the answer guys! Pls help me again!
The colormap command does not give you the intensity of the image.
I think i get mixed up. Colormap does shows the contrast of the image. and i would like to do so on my picture. Please advice me in any ways..
Thanks.
I don't know what that means. What do you consider to be the difference between "image" and "picture". To me, they're basically synonyms. Increasing the contrast on a picture or an image is the same thing.
Basically, i wanted my image to be like this:
using the colormap command. Any ideas?
