MATLAB: Is it possible to use Stylesheets in the Print Preview window to save a JPG in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

.jpgMATLABpreviewprintsheetstylestylesheet

In a figure if I go to File -> Print Preview and load a Stylesheet, I would like to save the figure in the JPG file format with the formatting specified in the StyleSheet.

The Print Preview window is meant for printing the figure to either a PDF or to a printer. No other file formats are directly supported.

As a work around, you may modify the figure properties and save as a JPG using the command line function:

print

MATLAB: Does the figure not print in the RTF report generated using MATLAB Report Generator 2.1.1 (R14SP1)

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

We have verified there is a bug in the way MATLAB Report Generator 2.1.1 (R14SP1) handles the capturing of an on-screen figure when the image is output to a non-vectorized file format. HTML does not produce the error because its default figure format is PNG, which is vectorized. However, the default format for RTF files is EPS, which is not vectorized.

Currently, you may workaround this problem using either of the following two suggestions:

1. In the figure snapshot component of the report, uncheck the box that says "capture figure from screen." This causes the MATLAB Report Generator to use the internal PRINT command rather than do a screen capture, and is more efficient than doing a screen capture.

2. In the figure snapshot component of the report, use a vectorized figure format, such as PNG or BMP.

MATLAB: How to change the default figure Print Preview and/or default Print stylesheet in MATLAB R2011a (7.12)

The ability to save changes default stylesheet from the Print Preview dialog is not available in MATLAB 7.12 (R2011a). However, for releases prior to R2012b, you can use the following steps to force MATLAB to 'remember' the new default stylesheet. For releases after R2012a, see related solution 1-AVUSD6 for a workaround.

1. Edit your settings in a figure's preview window (File->Print Preview) and save them with the name you want (Ex: 'Modified').

2. Open initprintexporttemplate.m file by executing the following:

edit(fullfile(matlabroot,'\toolbox\matlab\graphics\initprintexporttemplate.m'))

3.Comment the RETURN command on line number 9 of 'initprintexporttemplate.m' file.

4.Change the line number 86 in the file 'initprintexporttemplate.m' from - 'defpt = readDefProps([prefdir '/PrintSetup/default.txt']);' to 'defpt = readDefProps([prefdir '/PrintSetup/Modified.txt']);'

5. In case you want to change the settings for printing the figure, you also need to modify the line 146 in file 'initprintexporttemplate.m' from 'defpt = readDefProps([prefdir '/ExportSetup/default.txt']);' to 'defpt = readDefProps([prefdir '/ExportSetup/Modified.txt']);'

6. Save the file. Now every time you open a new figure the Modified stylesheet setting will be loaded. If you want to go back to your default settings, change the line 86 in 'initprintexporttemplate.m' file to default again.

P.S.: In case you are not able to save the 'initprintexporttemplate.m' file, run MATLAB as administrator.
