Save graphics object hierarchy to file
hgsave(filename)
hgsave(h,filename)
hgsave(...,'-v6')
hgsave(...,'-v7.3')
Note
hgsave is not recommended. Use savefig instead.
hgsave(filename) saves the current figure to
a file named filename. Specify filename as a
character vector or string.
hgsave(h,filename) saves the objects
identified by the array of handles h to a file named
filename. If you do not specify an extension for
filename, then the extension .fig is appended.
If h is a vector, none of the handles in h may be
ancestors or descendents of any other handles in h.
hgsave(...,'-v6') saves the FIG-file in a
format that can be loaded by versions prior to MATLAB® 7.
hgsave(...,'-v7.3') saves the FIG-file in a format that can be
loaded only by MATLAB versions 7.3 and above. This format, based on HDF5 files, is intended for
saving FIG-files larger than 2 GB.
When creating a figure you want to save and use in a MATLAB version prior to MATLAB 7, use the 'v6' option with the plotting function
and the '-v6' option for hgsave. Check the
reference page for the plotting function you are using for more information.
FIG-files saved in release R2014b and later cannot be opened in R2014a and earlier
releases. Use savefig to save figures that are
compatible with earlier versions of MATLAB.
Use the File > Export Setup dialog. Use Edit > Copy Figure to copy the figure’s content to the system clipboard. For details, see Customize Figure Before Saving and Copy Figure to Clipboard from Edit Menu.
