    MIP = spm_mip(xSPM.Z,xSPM.XYZmm,xSPM.M);

    imwrite(MIP,gray(64),'Glass_brain.png','png');

When I run the matlabbatch (not the MIP lines) by pressing F9, a xSPM variable is generated in the workspace and it works like a charm.

But when I run it by calling the function that contains it, xSPM is not created (or does not remain in the workspace). Therefore, I am not able to run the MIP line.

Any lights on what I should do to make xSPM appear in the workspace after running matlabbatch via function call?
