keeping original size of image when using imagesc

I'm programming a GUI and trying to show an image using imagesc. The GUI should be able to show images of different sizes. I put axes with a specific size in there but it's more of a placeholder - I'd like to change its size depending on the size of the image being displayed.

So for example I'm having the figure window with a rectangular shape but want to show a squared image without it being streched to fit the window, I hope I got my problem across. It does work when im using imshow, then the image keeps its original size automatically, but it doesn't when I'm using imagesc to display the image.

Hi, you can use

image(imageToDisplay)
axis image

to keep the ratio 1 to 1

I hope this helps
