Help about Building GUI

Hey guys i'm building GUI for my MATLAB code. I have built a GUI in which there is a button which calls to my main code and then on execution of that code figures pop up in different windows. I want to open these figures in the main GUI itself. What should i do?

Also is it possible to change the background of my GUI with an image??

Please suggest me e-book for building GUI in MATLAB.. Thank you..

Have a look at the nice examples:

41 Complete GUI Examples by Matt Fig

Also the solution for the background image:

How do I add a background image to my GUI or figure window?

I don't know a good ebook but the MATLAB documentation on the GUIs and Matt Fig examples are a good start, there are more examples of GUIs at the File Exchange

There are a lot of GUI examples in the file exchange. Here's one from Mr. Matt Fig himself:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24861-41-complete-gui-examples

To get a GUI callback to plot on a specific axes, try putting the axes handle in the plot command

>> plot(handles.axes1,x,y);

Also, I'm not sure if you can have a generic background image for a figure. However, you can change the color

>> set(handles.figure1,'Color',[1 0 0]) %set color to red

Hope this helps!
