MATLAB: Exporting figures is freezing up the computer

Question

Hello!

I have created some figures in Matlab and want to convert them to another format, say .jpg or .eps. I have a few plots which I used the 'area' command and have set transparencies of <1 on them. When I try and convert/export/save as or even print these figures to a file my entire computer freezes up! I have not the faintest idea why this is happening!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you!

p.s. I am using the Ubuntu O.S.

Answer 1

actually I managed to fix the problem. In case anyone is wondering .. it turns out that the driver for Nvidia was not activated, and neither was the fglrx driver installed. I activated the Nvidia driver and then ran sudo nvidia -xconfig.

Seems to have fixed the problem!
