MATLAB: Using “print” with no desktop

Question

I've got code that runs every hour and updates a graph. Using the print function, it creates a graph and saves it as a .jpg. However, the resolution is very low. When I run the code manually, it creates and saves the .jpg exactly as I want it. But when I am logged out (and the desktop is not available to MATLAB), the image created is poor quality. Here's my code for saving the plot:

print -djpeg birdmet.jpg -r100
drawnow
set(gcf, 'Color', 'white'); % white bckgr

I also have a .csh script to run my code, maybe it's the cause of the problem?:

#! /bin/csh

matlab -nodesktop -r "run /home/mmateling/realtime/capebird.m"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Did you try to set the size of the figure explicitly?
