Level 2 black and white Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) Level 1 color Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) Level 1 black and white Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) You can specify the resolution of the image using the - r resolution switch. To create these formats, MATLAB renders the Figure using the Z-buffer rendering method and the resulting pixmap is then saved to the specified file. JPEG is a lossy highly compressed format that is supported on all platforms for image processing and for inclusion into HTML documents on the World Wide Web. The TIFF image format is supported on all platforms by almost all word processors for importing images. You can change this default by editing the printopt.m file. Level 2 PostScript is the default for UNIX, VAX/VMS, and Macintosh computers. However, not all PostScript printers support Level 2, so determine the capabilities of your printer before using those devices. Generally, Level 2 PostScript files are smaller and render more quickly when printing than Level 1 PostScript files. Their defaults are platform dependent.ĭevices The table below lists device types supported by MATLAB's built-in drivers. dev contains the device option for the print command. pcmd contains the command that print uses to send a file to the printer. pcmd and dev are platform-dependent strings. You can edit the M-file printopt.m to set your default printer type and destination. printopt is an M-file used by print to produce the hardcopy output. Returns strings containing the current system-dependent print command and output device. If you omit filename, print sends the file to the default output device (except for -dmeta and -dbitmap, which place their output on the clipboard).

If filename does not include an extension, print appends an appropriate extension, depending on the device (e.g. print filenameĭirects the output to the file designated by filename. (For example, the -noui option suppresses printing of user interface controls.) The Options section lists available options. Specifies print options that modify the action of the print command. The Devices section lists all supported device types. Specifies a device type, overriding the value returned by printopt. Sends the contents of the current Figure, including bitmap representations of any user interface controls, to the printer using the device and system print command defined by printopt. You can use them in any combination or order. All arguments to the print command are optional.
