Save Matlab figure without plotting it?
Question
Is there a way of saving a figure plot without actually plotting it?
I mean, let's say I want to save the graph for plot(1:10, (1:10).^2)
, can I save it without showing it?
I want to make the run time shorter by cutting off the unnecessary plotting of the figures (those will be closed anyway after saving).
Thanks!
Solution
This can be done:
set(gcf,'Visible','off');
plot((1:10),(1:10).^2);
print -dpng c:\chris.png % or whatever your print command is
OTHER TIPS
There is also the saveas(h,'filename.ext')
function which can save a figure in some formats.
