imshow Unrecognized function or variable 'imshow'.

Hi!

I accidentially named a file 'imshow.m' which overwrote the 'imshow' function in matlab, image processing toolbox.

I then deleted my file named 'imshow.m' and re-install the image processing toolbox (twice).

Cleared the history in malab and tried this:

restoredefaultpath
rehash toolboxcache

but nothing works.

I still get the 'Unrecognized function or variable 'imshow'.

And I also get this:

 which -all imshow 
 'imshow' not found.

What can I do to fix this?

Hello Malin,

‘imshow’ is part of base MATLAB which is present in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020a\toolbox\matlab\images\imshow.m

‘imshow’ is shipped under the base MATLAB product and not with the ‘Image Processing Toolbox’. Therefore adding ‘Image Processing Toolbox’ will not help. Try re-installing the base Matlab product. It may help resolving the issue.
