This function ``prints'' the currently active fig to a file. The generic syntax for its use is
print(filename)
or, alternately,
print filename
where filename
is the (string) filename of the destined file. The current
fig is then saved to the output file using a format that is determined
by the extension of the filename. The exact output formats may vary on
different platforms, but generally speaking, the following extensions
should be supported cross-platform:
jpg
, jpeg
- JPEG file
ps
, eps
- Encapsulated Postscript file
png
- Portable Net Graphics file
Here is a simple example of how the figures in this manual are generated.
--> x = linspace(-1,1); --> y = cos(5*pi*x); --> plot(x,y,'r-'); --> print printfig1.eps --> print printfig1.jpg
which creates two plots printfig1.eps
, which is an Encapsulated
Postscript file, and printfig1.jpg
which is a JPEG file.
