copied!<p>You seem to be having a lot of trouble figuring this out. Here's the image I assume you want to generate:</p> <p><img src="https://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e77/kpeaton/I_Heart_MATLAB.jpg" alt="alt text"></p> <p>First, I started with the functions <code>heart</code> and <code>I_Heart_Math</code> that I posted in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1526898/matlab-and-plot/1589735#1589735">my answer to your other question</a> (which use <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/278-arrow-m" rel="nofollow noreferrer">arrow.m</a> and <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/20979-myaa-my-anti-alias-for-matlab" rel="nofollow noreferrer">myaa.m</a> from <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The MathWorks File Exchange</a>). I removed all the code in <code>I_Heart_Math</code> that was related to plotting the word "Math" and reduced the size of the figure window.</p> <p>Next I had to generate and plot the MATLAB L-shaped membrane logo. In MATLAB you can type <code>logo</code> and it will open a new figure with the logo displayed on a black background. You can look at the code that generates the figure by typing <code>type logo</code> in MATLAB, or you can look at <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/demos.html?file=/products/demos/shipping/matlab/logo.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this MathWorks demo page</a>.</p> <p>The <code>logo</code> code required a few modifications. Since I wanted to add the logo to an already existing figure window, I removed the code that created a new figure window. I changed a few properties for the logo axes as well: the <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/axes_props.html#Parent" rel="nofollow noreferrer">'Parent' property</a> was set to the current figure window (<a href="http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/gcf.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GCF</a>), the <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/axes_props.html#Units" rel="nofollow noreferrer">'Units' property</a> was set to 'pixels', and the <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/axes_props.html#Position" rel="nofollow noreferrer">'Position' property</a> was changed to position the logo axes next to the heart axes within the figure window.</p> <p>Putting it all together, here's the new <code>I_Heart_MATLAB</code> code to generate the above image:</p> <pre><code>function I_Heart_MATLAB % Initialize heart plot and adjust figure and axes settings: heart; set(gcf,'Position',[200 200 640 300],'Name','Original image'); offset = get(gca,'CameraPosition')-get(gca,'CameraTarget'); offset = 35.*offset./norm(offset); set(gca,'Position',[65 -9 300 300],'CameraViewAngle',6,... 'XLim',[21+offset(1) 70],'YLim',[16+offset(2) 63],...
