hgsave
(To be removed) Save graphics object hierarchy to file
Syntax
hgsave(filename)
hgsave(h,filename)
hgsave(...,'-v6')
hgsave(...,'-v7.3')
Description
Note
hgsave will be removed in a future release. Use savefig instead.
hgsave(filename) saves the current figure to
a file named filename. Specify filename as a
character vector or string.
hgsave(h,filename) saves the objects
identified by the array of handles h to a file named
filename. If you do not specify an extension for
filename, then the extension .fig is appended.
If h is a vector, none of the handles in h may be
ancestors or descendents of any other handles in h.
hgsave(...,'-v6') saves the FIG file in a
format that can be loaded by versions prior to MATLAB® 7.
hgsave(...,'-v7.3') saves the FIG file in a format that can be
loaded only by MATLAB versions 7.3 and above. This format, based on HDF5 files, is intended for
saving FIG files larger than 2 GB.
Backward Compatibility
When creating a figure you want to save and use in a MATLAB version prior to MATLAB 7, use the 'v6' option with the plotting function
and the '-v6' option for hgsave. Check the
reference page for the plotting function you are using for more information.
