saveing SVG from figures

hello,

I wanted to have all my graphs in the same aspect ratio, same fonts, etc ,etc,etc

so I created an small function that takes the image and sets everything I want and saves the figure as an svg

function ExportFiguresSized(figure,name)
    Axes=get(figure,'CurrentAxes');
    set(Axes,'FontSize', 30,'FontName','Calibri','FontWeight','bold');
    set(figure,'Position',[0,1.058333333333334,50.800000000000004,25.479375000000005],'Units','centimeters','InnerPosition',[0,1.058333333333334,50.800000000000004,25.479375000000005], 'OuterPosition', [-0.211666666666667,0.846666666666667,51.22333333333334,27.940000000000005],'Clipping','on','Resize','on')
    saveas(figure,name,'svg')
end

but I am having trouble with something,

in my script i have two different figures and use this function

test2=figure(1);
plot(signals(:,:))
ExportFiguresSized(test2,'test2')
test=figure(25);
plot(signals(:,:))
ExportFiguresSized(test,'test')

But I am facing an strange behavior, the first image created "test2" is not being saved as an svg but as a bitmap (when i open it with inkscape is not a real svg) but at the same time the second image created "test" it is an svg and i can modify as i want.

I can not understand why this is happening, someone could enlight me? or tell me why this is happening?

Try to set the renderer of the figure to Painters. The OpenGL renderer creates pixel graphics.

thanks it works,

I can not understand why, as in one of the cases it was working and the other no.... the only subtable difference that I saw is that the vector image that was not working, now that is works and is a real svg, its size is way bigger than the one that was working from the begginig, (5mb vs 100 kb)

strange....

in any case, thanks!

If the figure renderer mode is set to 'auto', Matlab decides which renderer to use. This can depend on the number of graphic elements and if the data contain 3D values or not. You are on the save side, if you set the renderer explicitly to your needs.

what I suspected when i saw the difference in the size, thanks a lot :D
