using export_fig to crop image, including axis

Hi all,

I am trying to use export_fig to crop the image. I successfully removed the background, but the numbers for the axis are still on display.

This is the code:

figure(1)
imagesc(x_axis,axial_distance_water,grayscale2);
colormap(gray);
axis image
export_fig(filename,'-transparent','-tif');

I attach the resulting figure using export_fig and what I need (using cropping function with PowerPoint).

Did anybody had the same issue?

I could not find related examples shown in github for export_fig.

Thanks in advance

Why dont you just remove the ticklabels?

Consider removing the ticklabels and/or ticks before exporting the figure.

set(gca,'ytick',[],'xtick',[])
set(gca,'yticklabels',{},'xticklabels',{})
