How to retrieve image from axes1 and then load it into another axes by using pushbutton.

im having two push buttons and two axes. when i press 1st button the selected image will be displayed on axes1 its fine.now how can i do on 2nd button press to show image on 2nd axes.

    % code
  endfunction pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
global filename
[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('','Select Image');
axes(handles.axes1);
input=imread(fullfile(pathname, filename));
imshow(input);

function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

    % code

You can try this:

image1 = get(handles.axes1, 'CData');
imshow(image1, 'Parent', handles.axes2);

[Walter Roberson]

That requires a correction as axes do not have CData

imh = findobj(handles.axes1, 'type', 'image');
image1 = get(imh, 'CData');
imshow(image1, 'Parent', handles.axes2);

The effect is to copy the image to the second axes. If you want to move the image out of the first axes and into the second axes, then you would use

imh = findobj(handles.axes1, 'type', 'image');
set(imh, 'Parent', handles.axes2);
