Hello,

I am trying to print/export my multiple output figures to PDF. The figure contains a surface plot and an uitable. I thought exportgraphics function will do my work but it seems like it does not support UI components. The desired output is to have a PDF with all the figures on a new page as similar to how they are displayed in figure window.

x = (rand(36,1))/10;

box = struct('B1',x(1:9),'B2',x(10:18),'B3',x(19:27),'B4',x(28:36));

box = structfun(@(fld) reshape(fld,3,3),box,'UniformOutput',false);

box = struct2cell(box)';

rows = [50,100,150]; %Axis data

col = [1000,3000,5000]; %Axis data

rnames = {'50','100','150'}; % These are column names

cnames = {'1000', '3000', '5000'}; % These are row names

sz = size(box);

for idx = 1:sz(1,2)

list = box{idx};

fig = figure('Position',[100 100 600 550]);

axes('Parent',fig,'position',[.1,.4,.8,.55],'Visible','off');

surf(col,rows,list);

xlabel('xAxis');

ylabel('yAxis');

zlabel('zAxis');

t = uitable('Parent',fig,'Data',list,'ColumnName',cnames,...

'RowName',rnames,'Units','Normalized','position',[0.075,0.025,0.75,0.3]);

exportgraphics(fig,'output.pdf','Append',true);

end

Any ideas on how it can be done? I tried using export_fig but it needs Ghostscript installed and I cannot install any third party software.

Thanks for the help,

Thanks for providing the code! The question title makes it seems like you're plotting multiple figures but your code shows that you produce one figure with multiple components.

If you use a uifigure instead of a regular figure you can export the figure using exportapp.

fig = uifigure('Position',[100 100 600 550]);

ax = axes(fig,'position',[.1,.4,.8,.55],'Visible','off');

surf(ax,col,rows,list);

xlabel(ax,'xAxis');

ylabel(ax,'yAxis');

zlabel(ax,'zAxis');

t = uitable(fig,'Data',list,'ColumnName',cnames,...

'RowName',rnames,'Units','Normalized','position',[0.075,0.025,0.75,0.3]);

exportapp(fig,'output.pdf');

end

*not tested

However, exportapp does not have an append option. You could create a pdf with exportapp and then append the pdf with exportgraphics as long as the content supplied to exportgraphics does not contain uicomponents.

Hi Adam,

The reason i said multiple figures is because i have a loop which creates bunch of them and i want all of them exported to PDF or even html so that it iseasy to share. My end goal is to automate the process to avoid clicking on each figure and individually exporting them.

I exportgraphics didn't work directly because i have uitable, I will see if uifigure makes any difference.

Thanks,

I see, that makes sense. getframe might be useful too but I don't have time at the moment to map that out.
