MATLAB: Good quality graph from Matlab to MSOffice

Question

Hi, which format or method will give me the best graphics quality, if i want to use matlab graphics in MS Powerpoint, for example. I have used edit–>copyfigure.. but, the font and the lines become very thin.

Answer 1

export_fig has helped me immensely. Also check out "imclipboard":

I need to insert MATLAB graphs into Outlook emails and Word documents very often. I downloaded both MATLAB Central functions and made myself the following shortcut:

set(gcf,'Color',[1 1 1]);
imclipboard('copy', export_fig());

The first line just sets the figure background to white so it looks nicer within emails and word docs that have a white background.

I produce the figure that I need, press the shortcut button that triggers the code above, and then just paste into Outlook. Its been quite convenient.
