How I store/save the window figure out from running some codes?

I run my code and I need to save the form containing the output like images or functions to open them without using MatLab.

export_fig is very good for exporting to bitmap images, but it isn't very good at vector formats.

[Massimo Zanetti]

To print images there is no need of vector formats :) export_fig is very good at any image format, not only bitmap. It is specifically suited to save high quality images, for publications for instance.

[Marc Jakobi]

Well it depends on your preferences. Vector formats are better for digital publications and presentations, in my opinion. And while automated methods such as export_fig are very comfortable, they can mess your images up once you use advanced figure formatting. I would definitely recommend export_fig, but ultimately, you are a lot more flexible if you learn to use Matlab's built-in functions (and when to use which ones) and create your own export tools that best suit your personal preferences. I have often found export_fig to not meet up to my expectations when it comes to vector graphics.

[Massimo Zanetti]

I got your point. But what I think is, Matlab exporting functions are not very handly.. export_fig is a sort of wrapping thing that makes everithing much easy.. That's why its popularity.

For more expert people, it's ok to dig into print() options, but for simple usage I found it corrupting even very simple plots.. That is the main issue why many "easy" users do not love using it.

What do you think?

[Marc Jakobi]

Yeah, I guess that could be true :)
