Saving figures with transparent patches / objects - figure background turning black

12 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
I have an issue trying to print (or save using export_fig etc.) a plot that has some transparent patches - these are histogram bars and the transparency has been set using 'facealpha' for example
(h3,'facecolor',rgb('orange'),'facealpha',0.9);
When coming to print/save this figure, in the final saved figure the background colour is black. I've tried both the print and export_fig function to print to png but I can't get around this issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madame,
Please try the following example. It makes an 3D plot, makes it transparant and saves it as a png.
clc;clear all;close all;
fig1=figure(1);
[x,y] = meshgrid([-2:.2:2]);
z = x.*exp(-x.^2-y.^2);
h1=surf(x,y,z,gradient(z));
set(h1,'facecolor','r','facealpha',0.3)
set(gca,'color','none')
print('plot','-dpng')
If you have plotted this figure, you can go in the figure GUI to edit-> copy figure. Now, if you paste this in a text programm (i.e. Word) you obtain a transperant figure also in Word.
Good luck! Christiaan

Hi Christiaan,
The plot looks fine in Matlab, but when I open the png file I get the same problem - a totally black figure. Your suggestion will help me get round this problem manually, but I was looking for a fix where I don't have to use the GUI.
Just out of interest, if you open plot.png outside of Matlab, do you get the same result as me - a totally black figure?
