Hello!
I am currently struggling with pdf export under OS X Yosemite using Matlab R2014b. Especially plots that contain noisy data have a tendency to look fuzzy in the pdf. As far as I remember this did not happen with older Matlab versions (although I am not completely certain). When I run the following code:
x = 0:2500;
y = rand(1,2501)+100.*exp(-((x-1000)./50).^2);
fig = figure(567)
plot(x,y, 'Color', 'r')
size = [20 15];
set(fig, 'PaperUnits', 'centimeters')
set(fig, 'PaperSize', size)
set(fig, 'PaperPosition', [1 1 18 14])
file = 'plot_OSX.pdf'
print('-f 567', '-dpdf', file)
the output looks like shown in 'plot_OSX.pdf'. When I run the same code under Windows Server 2012 with Matlab R2012b, I get the result shown in 'plot_Windows.pdf' which looks much nicer.
Of course, it is a little unfortunate that I am only able to compare different operating systems as well as different Matlab versions.
However, I would be very thankful if somebody has a good advise how to create nice vector graphics with R2014b under OS X. The export to eps also creates the fuzzy artifacts and I would really like to circumvent using the bitmap graphics produced by the OpenGL renderer.
Thanks!
Best regards, Ingolf
