Matlab r2017b savefig 'No file specified'

I am not able to save a fig in Matlab R2017b. I tried the following dummy code:

fig = figure;
subplot(1,2,1)
imshow('saturn.png')
title('Planet');
subplot(1,2,2)
imshow('kobi.png')
title('Dog');
savefig(fig,'myfile.fig');

I get the following error:

Error using savefig (line 128)
No file name specified.

When running the same code in Matlab R2017a it succesfully saves the figure.

I am running Windows and Matlab R2017b. I did try restarting both Matlab and the PC.

Note:

I get the same error when using the saveas function.

Odd. I see no indication in the doc of R2017b why this would fail, nor is anything relevant mentioned in the release notes.

Running your example (either as a section, or as a script) I can't reproduce the error.

I indeed have a function named 'savefig'. I am sorry.

In R2017b, savefig only has 124 lines and does not have a message with that wording. You appear to be getting a different savefig. What shows up for

which savefig

it should show toolbox/matlab/graphics/savefig.m
