how to make an image disappear?

I have inserted this short code thereafter comes another function. I want the image to disappear after some seconds so the user can see what s being displayed on the screen. Does anybody know how I can do it?

This is the short code for my image:

img = imread('Borehole_collapse.png');

image(img);

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 0.5;% measured relative to the figure width

height = 0.5;% measured relative to the figure height

set(gca,'units','normalized','position',[x y width height])

In the documentation on Image Properties, see the Visible property.

For the delay, see if the pause function will do what you want. Toggle the visibility to 'off' after the pause allows code execution to continue.
