MATLAB: Save figure from GUI with axes and colorbar

getframegetimageguiguidehgsavesaveas

I am trying to save a figure from a GUI I made. However, I have tried several methods using code from this forum. Unfortunately, I can't get any of them to keep the axes, colorbar, and colormap of the original plot. Here is the code I am using:

[filename,pathname] = uiputfile('default','Save your GUI settings');
if pathname == 0 %if the user pressed cancelled, then we exit this callback 
 return 
end 
saveDataName = fullfile(pathname,filename); 
    F=getframe(handles.axes1);                
    figure();                                         
    image(F.cdata);                                 
saveas(gcf,saveDataName,'fig')

thank you for your help!

MATLAB: What is wrong with the exit button

I tried your code and it works without any of the problems you describe, they might be caused by other code.

Just two small suggestions, the close all doesn't need the ; at the end, it's common to both Yes and No responses (also the cancel got the return line), you can remove those two "close all" lines put it after the end of that code.

MATLAB: How the user can save his result(gui) in a folder that he wanted?

This should work on Windows OS, don't know how to do it for other OS.

filename = inputdlg('Please enter the name for your figures');
extensions = {'fig','bmp'};
dname = uigetdir('C:'); %you can change C: to other directories
%or even use a edit box where the user can select the default path
for k = 1:length(extensions)
saveas(gcf, [dname '\' filename{:}], extensions{k})
set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto')
end
