app.UIAxes stuck in Background

Hi, I'm using Matlab app designer with Matlab R2022b and all UIAxes I used are stuck in the Background. In the Component browser I can reorder them but they will allways stay behind all other Components.

Did anyone experience the same Problem and knows how to avoid it ?

Thanks Moritz

Keep an eye on the uiAxes size and place them safe within it's parents borders to avoid this. The Components Browser provides also informations about the controls location within the parent/child hierarchy.

Thank you for your fast answer. Sadly Im still not able to solve the problem. Even in a new app Im not able to reorder. Also it is allways behind the Image, wether I place it first or afterwards...

Isn't there a Bring to front button on the canvas?

[MoSo395]

Yes, but it only reorders the UIAxes if I got several, but never brings them in front of the image. Otherwise it is not available... I now worked around it by cuting the Image into parts and laying them aroud the Axes :/

Hi @MoSo395,

This is a known issue in MATLAB.

As a workaround, you can wrap your "uiaxes" with a "uipanel" and it will be visible over the "uiimage". For the "uipanel", you can turn the Border Type to "none" and the Title to the empty string.

A simple example demonstrating this is attached here for your reference.

To know more about "uipanel", kindly refer to the following link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uipanel.html
