MATLAB: How to name a figure using a variable name

filenamesave

I have a figure and want to save this as a tiff or jpeg I have changed a date into variable = 'van190392 15' which I want to use in the file name Such that I get as filename;van190392 15.tiff or van190392 15.jpeg I get an error message, it seems not being allowed/possible

variable = 'van190392 15';
figure
plot(rand(3,4))
filename = [variable,'.tif'];
print('-dtiff',filename)

MATLAB: How to assign names to save different figures

I think that the problem is with the inner for loop. The code seems to know already about the number of figures that it has to write to file from the figures list

 for k=(n+1):(n+numel(figures))
    baseFileName = sprintf('figure_%d.tif',k);
    fullFileName = fullfile(folder_name,baseFileName);
    % etc.

(Is this array initialized with something like figures = findobj('Type','figure'), and so contains all the handles to the open figures?)

So we have the new file name and the figure, but then the following call is made to get all objects and descendants associated with gcf, the "current figure"

 figlist=findobj(gcf);

Then the code iterates on the length of this object, writing each element in the list to the same output file. And this happens repeatedly since for every k we compute figlist=findobj(gcf); against the same current figure.

I think that all you need to do is remove the inner for loop and have something more like

 i=1;  % to access the ith element of figures
 for k=(n+1):(n+numel(figures))
    baseFileName = sprintf('figure_%d.tif',k);
    fullFileName = fullfile(folder_name,baseFileName);
    saveas(figures(i),fullFileName); 
    i = i+1; % increment
 end

The above assumes that figure is an array of all figure handles that you want to save to file.
