Rotating an entire axes in Matlab Guide

I am currently trying to rotate an entire axes named axes1.

imr=imrotate(img,30);
                axes(this.gui_h.axes1);
                imshow(imr,'Parent',this.gui_h.axes1);

The code above initiates a rotation of 30 degrees. However, the image is rotated but not the entire axes1. I have tested guide tools such as the rotate3D, however rotate3D does not work successfully for 2d images. I have also tried

set(handles.axes1,'Rotation',-25); ,

which has no effect. It simply overlooks the statement and continues with the other tasks. Is there a way to rotate the entire axes?

image(rand(100, 100, 3));
view(30, 90);

This rotates the "view", the camera the user "is looking through". Alternative:

AxesH    = gca;
UpVector = [-sind(30), cosd(30), 0];
DAR      = get(AxesH, 'DataAspectRatio');
set(AxesH, 'CameraUpVector', DAR .* UpVector);

For set(gca, 'Rotation', -25) I get an error message:

 Error using matlab.graphics.axis.Axes/set
 There is no Rotation property on the Axes class.

Thank you.

I currently using

                  xlabel(handles.axes1,'X axis')
                  ylabel(handles.axes1,'Y axis')
                  camzoom(handles.axes1,1)
                   % Rotate the axes changing the Azimuth value
                view(handles.axes1,[30 90]);

I noticed that the labels rotate perfectly. However, the image disappears. Can anyone tell why? Am I missing a step?

Images are displayed in the standard view only. You can use some of this tools, to display images even in 3D:

The easiest way to rotate the axes is to use the inbuilt function camorbit.
