How to displays many images one at a time?

I have an art exam soon and frankly I hate everything about the class, starting with the professor. On the exam I will be asked to describe many pictures (over 40), so to make my studying a fun experience I was thinking on creating a program that lets me load all the images and then output them randomly for me to describe them.

I only want the image as an output, and when I press any key, display the other image until all the images have been displayed one by one.

The images are in a PowerPoint and I was thinking on taking them one by one using 'Snipping Tool' but from then on I don't know what else to do. I have never input an image to MATLAB.

I am asking for ideas (like somekind of function name) so that I can start from there and create the code.

Can you please help?

Here you go: image(), imshow(), imagesc(). Other functions that may be useful: subplot(), colormap(), colorbar, figure.

Thank your very much Image Analyst. I was wondering, how can I upload the images to MATLAB as M files? Will MATLAB read the images or must I do some extra work?

I don't think MATLAB can read powerpoint files. It can read jpg and tiff and the like.

You're best off extracting the images from Powerpoint manually. It can most likely be done with ActiveX programming (from within MATLAB) but I think that's beyond your skill set for the time being, and would end up taking you longer because you'd have to learn how to do ActiveX programming.
