Answer 1

In order to copy your figure to the clipboard you can use the -NOUI option with the PRINT command as follows:

1. Open your GUI.

2. Run the following code:

set(0,'showhiddenhandles','on')
print -dmeta -noui

3.The axes of the GUI figure now should be in the clipboard. You can now paste it, for example, in a word document.
