Is it possible to pan an imagesc output programmatically in a manner analogous to the zoom function?

I can programmatically zoom in or out of an image created with imagesc very simply, using code such as this:

imagesc(myImage)

zoomFactor = 1.5;

zoom(zoomFactor);

I would like to be able to pan horizontally and vertically in similar fashion, i.e by using code and not involving the GUI. The motivation is to be able to execute exactly repeatable pans.

You can set the XLim and YLim properties (of the axes object). That should replicate a repeatable pan.

I've persuaded this to work, thanks!
