plot2mif

Vector graphics export of 2D MATLAB plots to Framemaker MIF-files.

MATLAB to Framemaker MIF converter
Only 2D plots are currently supported

Usage: plot2mif(filename,graphic handle)
optional optional

Creates a Framemaker MIF file with the vector graphics contents of a MATLAB figure. The elements are hierarchically grouped. Use the Framemaker ungroup command to edit the elements of the figure. MATLAB pixel graphics elements (image, colorbar ...) are included in the MIF file as TIF graphics. The command 'newfigure' creates a new matlab figure that fits later on a A4 page in Framemaker.
