Using sliceViewer function in App Designer

Hi,

I am using the following syntax to try to display a sliceViewer element inside a GUI of App Designer:

% Button pushed function: LoadCT

function LoadCTButtonPushed(app, event)

dir = uigetdir;

oCT=cPETRUS_loadCT(dir);

sliceViewer(oCT.Image,'parent',app.UIAxes2)

end

however I get the following error:

Error using images.stacks.browser.internal.SliceViewer/set.Parent

The Parent property must be a figure or uipanel.

Error in sliceViewer/parseInputs

Error in sliceViewer

It's weird because I can display other things in this axis using other functions that use and dont use the 'parent' atribute, but I cant with sliceViewer.

Any thoughts on this?

Use a panel instead of a figure:

sliceViewer(oCT.Image,'parent',app.Panel)

You can see it in a figure, but it's needs to UIFigure not UIAxes:

sliceViewer(oCT.Image,'parent',app.UIFigure2)

However, the problem with this approach is that the size is not constrained (it takes up the entire screen).

Hello Raj,

Thank you for your answer; I was aware I can use a panel instead of a figure. However since the error says the parent needs to "be a figure or uipanel" I was hoping to be able to present it as an independant figure with all figure properties.

... unless I am missing something
