Rotating an entire axes in Matlab Guide - matlab

Question

I am currently trying to rotate an entire axes named axes1.
imr=imrotate(img,30);
axes(this.gui_h.axes1);
imshow(imr,'Parent',this.gui_h.axes1);
The code above initiates a rotation of 30 degrees. However, the image is rotated but not the entire axes1. I have tested guide tools such as the rotate3D, however rotate3D does not work successfully for 2d images. I have also tried set(handles.axes1,'Rotation',-25); , which has no effect. It simply overlooks the statement and continues with the other tasks. Is there a way to rotate the entire axes?

Answer 1

You can use the view functin to rotate the axes.
imshow('Jupiter_New_Horizons.jpg')
xlabel('X axis')
ylabel('Y axis')
camzoom(.8)
% Rotate the axes changing the Azimuth value
for i=0:-3:-180
view([i 90]);
pause(.3)
end
This also applies to standard plots:
t=0:.1:2*pi;
x=sin(t)
plot(t,x);
grid minor
xlabel('X axis')
ylabel('Y axis')
camzoom(.8)
for i=0:-3:-180
view([i 90]);
pause(.3)
end
Edit following the comments
I've created a simple GUI with two axes and two pushbutton with the following tag
axes #1: axes1
axes #2: axes2
pushbutton #1: pushbutton1
pushbutton #2: pushbutton2
The callback of pushbutton1 loads an image in the axes1, the turns the axes.
The callback of pushbutton2 plots a curve in the axes2, the turns the axes.
The GUI works properly, the axers rotates as expected.
This is the .m of the GUI; you can test it creating the GUI and using the tag as specified above.
function varargout = fbdfi(varargin)
% FBDFI MATLAB code for fbdfi.fig
% FBDFI, by itself, creates a new FBDFI or raises the existing
% singleton*.
%
% H = FBDFI returns the handle to a new FBDFI or the handle to
% the existing singleton*.
%
% FBDFI('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
% function named CALLBACK in FBDFI.M with the given input arguments.
%
% FBDFI('Property','Value',...) creates a new FBDFI or raises the
% existing singleton*. Starting from the left, property value pairs are
% applied to the GUI before fbdfi_OpeningFcn gets called. An
% unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
% stop. All inputs are passed to fbdfi_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
% *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one
% instance to run (singleton)".
