I have divided one image into subimages--how can I show the subimages lined up near each other?

I have divided one image into four smaller images (subimages). How can I show the subimages like the original image, close to each other and with a line or a few pixels between them. I have tried subplot but it didn´t work.

Answer 1

This implements suggestion #4 of Image Analyst.

I = imread('peppers.png');
I = im2double(I);

Nsubimages = [4 3];
Nsp = 10; % number of separating pixels

sz = size(I);
sznew = [sz(1:2) + (Nsubimages - 1)*Nsp size(I, 3)];
Inew = repmat(1, sznew);

ind1 = round(linspace(1, sz(1), Nsubimages(1) + 1));
ind2 = round(linspace(1, sz(2), Nsubimages(2) + 1));

for i = 1:length(ind1)-1
  for j = 1:length(ind2)-1
    i1 = ind1(i):ind1(i+1);
    i2 = ind2(j):ind2(j+1);
    Inew(i1 + (i-1)*Nsp, i2 + (j-1)*Nsp, :) = I(i1, i2, :);
  end
end

subplot(1,2,1), imshow(I)
subplot(1,2,2), imshow(Inew)

Can I save blocks to variables and analyse them separately?

Sure

 for i = 1:length(ind1)-1
   for j = 1:length(ind2)-1
     i1 = ind1(i):ind1(i+1);
     i2 = ind2(j):ind2(j+1);
     B{(i-1)*(length(ind2)-1) + j} = I(i1, i2, :);
   end
 end

sorry I didn´t understand, where is the subimage varibles?

It's the cell array B. To access the i'th subimage, use

 B{i}

Ok, Thank you. It helps me a lot!

Answer 2

You can either

1. show the original image (no lines/gaps), or
2. save the images to files and use montage() (again, no lines or gaps), or
3. you can use a GUI (like use GUIDE) and place 4 axes really close to each other and use imshow() to display the images in the axes, or
4. make a larger image and use regular, normal indexing to assign the sub images into the proper location in the larger image.

P.S. I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've learned not to delete your questions anymore.

@Image Analyst: Teemu was not actually deleting questions, but was simply including the entire question in the title and entering ";" as the body.
