Figure Saving Tool (PDF and EPS)

Files

Note: Wikipedia automatically changes the first letter of a filename to uppercase. To avoid warnings in Matlab, save the file in lowercase.

File:Saver.m

File:Export fig.zip

First install the export_fig toolbox in a folder that is in the Matlab path. The export_fig toolbox can save dashed and dotted lines in a proper way, which is not possible using the standard Matlab 'print' function.
