Thank you Dave - your explanation was perfect and I have it all working.

The function returns an array of x's and y's. The next step is for me to draw a line on the original image.

Can anyone explain how to accomplish this or point me in the direction of a good resource?

Thanks again Dave. That was great.

Now right click on that axes object and go to callbacks. This will create the .m file associated with the GUI figure. In that space you can then type simple code to load the image, e.g. axes(handles.axes1), then imshow('your picture filename here').
