Setting AlphaData of an image causes labels of other axes on the same figure to flip?

Dear all,

I have a very weird issue. I have a figure with various axes, one to display an image and the others for scatter plots.

I display the image using:

   h=imshow(colorImage,'Parent',handles.axes_Image);

where 'colorImage' is an RGB image. This works fine and I can display both my image and my other plots together without any issue.

Now if I try to change the AlphaData of that image using:

   set(h, 'AlphaData', mask*0.5);

The labels for the other axes get flipped (both horizontally and vertically as far as I can tell).

Anyone know what's going on? I can't seem to find the root of the problem. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Nicolas

I have the exact same problem - would love a solution.

Setting AlphaData forces OpenGL to be used for the renderer. Historically a couple of releases on some platforms had reversed axes when using OpenGL. My memory is saying "R2011a, Linux, wasn't RedHat". Could well be wrong.
