What is the best way to export a figure into visio as vector?

I have a plot in Matlab and I want to export it to visio to use it later in an article. What is the best way to do that?

Hi @Amro Alsabbagh,

To export a MATLAB plot for use in Microsoft Visio, we must preserve its vector quality so that the lines and text remain crisp when resized. Here are some of the best options to achieve the same:

• Export as Enhanced Metafile (EMF): Visio supports EMF files well, and MATLAB can export to this format as follows-

print('plot_name', '-dmeta') 

• Export as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): Use the following command in MATLAB to export to this format-

print('plot_name', '-dsvg')

The above "print" command exports the plot in the current directory and we can then include them directly in Visio.

I hope this helps.
