title: loading a JPG image into my GUI handle structure using the file open function in matlab
body: <p>I doing a project in matlab for extracting characters from a jpg image. So far, i've created a GUI using Guide and now i want to load an image from the disk memory into the GUI. I have created an open drop down menu list, which has the load image menu item. I have used the uigetfile function which successfully opens the opendialog box with image files to load. The problem is how to transfer this image to my GUI workspace. If you have an idea of what i am trying to do, i will be glad to get your feedback. Thanks in advance  </p>
