Hi! I am creating a GUI (using Matlab and GUIDE), and I 
would like to draw a static, irregularly-shaped object on 
my axes. From all of the Matlab documentation I've seen, 
it is only possible to plot rectangles and ovals, but 
nothing else. 

Is my only option to overlay a large series of rectangles 
& ovals to create my desired shape (if this is even 
possible), or does someone know of a way to create a 
static irregular shape easily?

Thanks for your help! Kathleen
