MATLAB: Does a distorted figure result from copying to a Windows Metafile using a widescreen laptop and MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)

clipboardemfMATLABmonitorscreenwide

I am using MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) with a widescreen laptop. I would like to copy-and-paste figures into another application, but the figure appears distorted when pasted and displayed in the other application.

Best Answer

This is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2).

To work around this issue, put the laptop in normal screen mode. Alternatively, export the figures to another format (such as bitmap) and import them into the other application.

To work around this issue, use the Position or Location properties of graphics objects to set their position and size manually.

For example:

x = -5:.1:5;
y = -2:.1:2;
[xx yy] = meshgrid(x, y);
zz = xx.^2 + yy.^2;
surf(xx, yy, zz)
set(gca,'Position',[.1 .1 .6 .8])
colorbar(gcf,'Position',[.8 .2 .1 .6])
legend(gca,'Sample text','Location',[.8 .9 .1 .05])
