MATLAB: How to export a figure to *.svg

asexportformatgraphicsMATLABsavesvgvector

I'd like to export a figure as *.svg. Thus I'm trying:
File -> Export Setup -> Export
and chooses type *.svg. But this does not work. I obtain the following error message:
 Error using ==> hgexport at 858
 Error using ==> graphics\private\prepare at 307
 Error using ==> <a href="error:D:\MATLAB\R2007a\toolbox\matlab\graphics\private\prepare.m,100,1">graphics\private\prepare at 100</a>
 Error using ==> graphics\private\prepare at 41
 The SVG device option is only supported for Simulink systems.

The ability to export a figure to SVG file is not supported in MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a). A possible workaround could be found on the File Exchange:
