Save 2 Figures from GUI

Hi, I have a GUI with two figures with the tags plot1 and plot2. I would like to save these plots in two separate fig-files using the current filename [filename = get(handles.filename,'String');].

I have tried the copyobj-routine, but have difficulties with the correct syntax. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I use the saveas() command to save figures.

saveas(h,'filename','format')

Thank you for the reply. That works fine, I also figured out my original attempt using copyobj and hgsave.

I now stumbled across another problem: I need the extracted figures to be flexible (i.e. they need to adjust, when I change the size of the window). At the same time, when I first open the new figure file, I would like the plots to be the exact same size as the figures in GUI. How do I do that?

I am currently using this command and it keeps the plots in the new window dynamic/flexible. However, upon first opening the plots have a different size that the plots from the GUI.

pos = get(gcf, 'DefaultAxesPosition'); set(gca, 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', pos)

Thank you!!

Hi, thanks for the link. That was very helpful. Still, I am not sure about how to adjust the size properly. Where does the GUI save the size of the plots/axes? And how do I implement that variable so that the new figure has the exact same size?

Thank you!!
