MATLAB: How o save a part of figure with gui to image

axesfigureimageMATLAB

hello all, i have read every post and answer on the subject but nothing solved my problem. I have a figure with a gui. it also has an axes which plots objects in 3d. i wish to save only the axes area without the rest. i tried print, saveas,getframe and the matlab file exchange export_fig but nothing does it.

the only thing that worked was getting the image from export_fig and taking only a part of it.

so does anyone know of a better way to crop using export_fig? or a general better way to do this task ? thanks

So I found the answer myself. it seems that the export_fig from the file exchange can do this if you give it an axes handle and have it crop.

so the solution looks like this

export_fig(axes handle,'-transparent',filename);

just thought someone might find this usefull in the future.

MATLAB: Scatter ‘o’ Marker circularity

The 'o' marker is implemented as an octagon (at least up to R2014a). On my R2014a OS-X system, they appear to retain their aspect ratio no matter how large I make them and no matter what aspect ratio I have in effect or how wide I make the axes (that is, they are drawn "after" the other items are sized.)

If you have R2012a or later and Image Processing Tookbox, then you could try viscircles() -- but note that any circles drawn that way are going to be subject to aspect ratio considerations; see "axis equal" or set the "dataaspect" property of the axes.

MATLAB: Save axes plot as ‘.fig’ in a GUI

The FIG format contains the complete figure (as the name says already). If you want to save a single axes only and definitely want the FIG format, you can copy the axes to a new figure:

Fig1 = figure;
AxesH = axes;
plot(1:10, rand(10,10));
Fig2 = figure;
copyobj(AxesH, Fig2);
hgsave(Fig2, 'myFigure.fig');
