Printing/Saving Plots


To save a figure, perhaps the easiest way is to copy the figure into another file, such as a Microsoft Word document, and then save that document. (The student edition of Matlab limits ones abilities to save plots).

To copy a figure into another document, bring a graphics window to the front (use Windows menu item to choose the graphics window) then select the Edit/Copy Figure menu item. Got to another application and paste the figure into an open document.

The format of the copied plot can be either Windows Meta File (WMF) or a bitmap. Use the File/Preferences/Copying Options to set the format.

To print plots, bring a graphics window to the front (use Windows menu item to choose the graphics window) then from the File menu select Print.
