MATLAB: How to save a gui plot in a new file

Hello everyone,

I need your help.

I'm making a GUI with several push buttons and axes. By clicking in a push button, appears a graph in the axes.

What I want to do is, by clicking in other push button, it saves the image in a new image file.

This is what I have: ————————————————————————————————————– function [ output_args ] = gera_imagem (grafico_i)

[ficheiro_nome3, directoria_nome3] = uiputfile('*.jpeg;*.tif;*.png;*.gif', 'Guardar a imagem:'); nome3 = fullfile(directoria_nome3,ficheiro_nome3);

saveas(grafico_i,nome3);

end —————————————————————————————————————

grafico_i is the plot that appears on GUI and that's what I want to save in the file named nome3..

What that saveas do is to save a bit of the GUI menu, not the graph…

How do I copy the graph that's created in the GUI to the new image file?

Can you help please?

Thanks a lot, Mara

Our daily "how do I save a figure?" question. The usual answer is to read the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_save_my_figure.2C_axes.2C_or_image.3F_I.27m_having_trouble_with_the_built_in_MATLAB_functions. which basically recommends to try export_fig (the most downloaded of all File Exchange submissions, for good reason). If export_fig doesn't work then some people have had success with changing the renderering method (painters, z-buffer, or whatever) but I've never had to resort to that.
