Question

Currently I am working on a matlab GUIDE and would like to include an image as the background of the GUI. May I know how can I include a static image in the GUI?

Answer 1

You should use axes graphical control:

 f= figure()
 a = axes('Position',[0 0 1 1],'Units','Normalized');
 imshow('peppers.png','Parent',a);

You can put anything you want above the axes:

 uicontrol('Style','text','Units','Normalized','Position',[0.1 0.1 0.3 0.6],'String','Example');

You can do it in GUIDE as well, simple stretch an axes over the whole figure manually.
