MATLAB: Export_fig conversion help

export_figfigureMATLAB

I have 4 matlab scripts, each saving a figure at the end as a png file in a folder.

I have a different script which I want to use to export all 4 png files at once using export_fig.

Problem: how do I "load" the saved figures into the script so that I can convert them using export_fig?

code right now:

export_fig fig1.png
export_fig fig2.png
export_fig fig3.png
export_fig fig4.png
ERROR:
Error using export_fig
No figure found

this export script is in the same folder as the 4 scripts which generated the figures and the saved figures themselves

If you saved your figures in a FIG-File, then

fig_handle = openfig(filename)

will open it.

Here a link to openfig documentation.

Before calling export_fig,

if ~ischar(filename)
   return;  %user cancel
end

You might want to take a look at this contribution:

Regarding the saving as png: I guess that it does not work because fileName already has the fig extension.

Could you give this a try:

fileName = fullfile([pathway,'\data','\fig-file\'], 'WorstLocation');

saveas(figScan, [fileName '.png'], 'png');

savefig(figScan, [fileName '.fig']);
