Hi,

the error message tells you the problem: you can only print figures, not axes. I assume though, that handles.axes2 is an axes handle, not the figure handle. You probably need to have

h = handles.figure1;

instead.

The export_fig package contains a function called isolate_axes. You can use this to send a specific axes to a printer as follows:

figure_handle = isolate_axes(axes_handle);
print(figure_handle, ...); % Add the correct print options here
close(figure_handle);

axes_handle can also be a vector of handles of axes in the same figure, in which case all the axes will be printed.

You can print a single axis with export_fig: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-exportfig

See Oliver's answer here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/12111-printing-axes

Correction - that's export_fig, NOT to be confused with exportfig.

Hi, how are you? Were you able to print a specific figure in the guide? If yes, can you send the code to my emai? email: [e-mail] I am developing my thesis and I need this function. I've been trying for two weeks. I'm grateful already!

Please do not hijack another thread, but open your own one. The nature of this forum is sharing solutions in public, so sending code to an email address is not the right way.

Explain in your new thread, what "print a specific figure in the guide" means, because this is not clear yet.
