Replace hardcopy for only MATLAB version functions

Hi all, I've been recently trying to create a histogram with hatched bars instead of using colours for a formal report. I found a function in the link: <Hatch Functions>, however, upon trying Example 1 from the Documentation of applyhatch_plus.m:

    bar(rand(3,4));
    [im_hatch,colorlist] = applyhatch_plus(gcf,'\-x.',[],150);
    imwrite(im_hatch,'im_hatch.tiff','tiff')

I get the following error message:

    Unrecognized function or variable 'hardcopy'.

Error in applyhatch_plus (line 89)
  bits = hardcopy(h,'-dzbuffer',['-r' num2str(dpi)]);  

I realise that hardcopy is no longer a function in MATLAB, but does anybody have an idea of how I could retrieve it? Even better, any ideas to hatch histograms would be very much appreciated. Also tried <Hatchfill> but it also seems to use old functions.

Hi,

There is a latest MATLAB File exchange for this “hatch” functionality. You can find it here.

Hope this helps!
