Saving Multiple matlab files using print

Hello

I am using this to save a multiple figures in ps format.

for i=1:14
    print(figure(i), '-append', '-dpsc2', 'd:Myfigure.ps');
end

However, i would like to define the figure paper position, so when i use the code below, doent work :(

h=gcf;
set(h,'PaperOrientation','landscape');
set(h,'PaperUnits','normalized');
set(h,'PaperPosition', [0 0 1 1]);

for i=1:14
    print(gcf, figure(i), '-append', '-dpsc2', 'd:Myfigure.ps');
end

ANny help is appreciated. Also, can i save it directly to pdf instead of ps.

Thanks

export_fig may help.

You may also need to use the figure's "Position" property to match the "PaperPosition" property.

It's hard to say because "doesn't work" is so vague...does it throw an error? is the result not as expected?

My guess is that you are receiving an error from the call to the print function:

for i=1:14

print(gcf, figure(i), '-append', '-dpsc2', 'd:Myfigure.ps');

end

The issue is that you are passing in 2 figure handles in the call to print (gcf and figure(i)). You probably want to remove gcf and use this instead:

for i=1:14

print(figure(i), '-append', '-dpsc2', 'd:Myfigure.ps');

end

The print function can not produce multipage PDF directly, but in R2021b the exportgraphics function was updated to directly support appending to PDF files (i.e. creating a multipage PDF file):

% append each of the figures to output.pdf

for i=1:14

exportgraphics(figure(i), 'output.pdf', 'Append', true);

end
