Is it possible to show the x,y axis values for an image?

I m trying to use an image from matlab in a paper, but I want to show the x,y axis. However when you use imshow(myImage); it doesn't show the values on the x,y axis. i.e. these are coordinates of the pixels. How do I display this?

Get the handle of the axis and set the 'Visible' property to 'on'

imshow('peppers.png');
h = gca;
h.Visible = 'On';

I wasn't able to get this to work. I tried the above but it might be that i have an older version of matlab (R2010a). I also tried inserting axes in the figure window but it just replaces the image with a blank image with an axes.

In R2010a, the structure syntax will not work. You have to use the set function.

See if this does what you want:

set(h, 'Visible', 'On')

That worked. Thank you Star Strider.
