The below code sets all sensible properties.

fig1 = openfig('Fig 1.fig');

fig2 = openfig('Fig 2.fig');

propnames = fieldnames(set(fig1));

if strcmp(fig2.WindowStyle, 'docked')

propnames = propnames(~ismember(propnames, ...

{'InnerPosition', ...

'OuterPosition', ...

'Position'}));

end

propnames = propnames(~ismember(propnames, ...

{ 'Children', ...

'CurrentAxes', ...

'CurrentCharacter', ...

'CurrentObject', ...

'CurrentPoint', ...

'FileName', ...

'IntegerHandle', ...

'Parent', }));

set(fig2, propnames, get(fig1, propnames));

savefig(fig2, 'New Fig 2.fig');

To address your query, “I would like to implement all the figure properties from Fig 1 to Fig 2. Instead of changing the figure properties in Fig 2 manually, it would be nice if I can just copy figure properties of Fig 1 and paste those into Fig 2.”

% Get the figure properties of Fig 1
fig1 = figure('Visible', 'off'); % Create a temporary figure
copyobj(findobj('type','axes'), fig1); % Copy axes objects
fig1Props = get(fig1);
% Apply the figure properties to Fig 2
fig2 = figure('Visible', 'off'); % Create Fig 2
set(fig2, fig1Props); % Set Fig 2 properties same as Fig 1
% Display Fig 2
set(fig2, 'Visible', 'on');

So, as you can see the code snippet creates a temporary figure (Fig 1) to extract its properties and then applies those properties to a new figure (Fig 2). Finally, it displays Fig 2 with the copied properties. For more guidance on “copyobj” function, please refer to

Hope this answers your question. Although, @Walter Robertson did answer your first question and he is very humble, doesn’t brag about his accomplishments, has years of experience and helping out us and even resolved many challenging problems. So, If I were you, I will take his advice into consideration as well.

Hi @ Aditya Zade,

Please see updated code below, I modified the code and executed in matlab showing no errors which I should have done in the first place.

% Get the figure properties of Fig 1
fig1 = figure('Visible', 'off'); % Create a temporary figure
copyobj(findobj('type','axes'), fig1); % Copy axes objects
fig1Props = get(fig1);
% List all figure properties
fig1PropsList = get(fig1);
% Set Fig 2 properties same as Fig 1
fig2 = figure('Visible', 'off'); % Create Fig 2
set(fig2, 'Name', fig1PropsList.Name, ... % Set figure name
    'NumberTitle', fig1PropsList.NumberTitle, ... % Set number title
    'Color', fig1PropsList.Color, ... % Set figure color
    'Position', fig1PropsList.Position, ... % Set figure position
    'PaperPosition', fig1PropsList.PaperPosition, ... % Set paper position
    'PaperSize', fig1PropsList.PaperSize, ... % Set paper size
    'PaperType', fig1PropsList.PaperType); % Set paper type
% Display Fig 2
set(fig2, 'Visible', 'on');

By executing this code, Fig 2 will inherit the properties of Fig 1, allowing for a seamless transfer of figure properties without manual intervention. Hope, this answers your question.

I might be doing someting wrong, but this code is still not copying properties into the newly created figure. The newly created figure is attached. This figure should look like the png that I have attached. I have manually entered all the properties to get this png.

fig1 = openfig('Fig 1.fig');
fig2 = openfig('Fig 2.fig');
fig3 = copyobj(fig2, groot);
propnames = fieldnames(set(fig1));
if strcmp(fig2.WindowStyle, 'docked')
    propnames = propnames(~ismember(propnames, ...
        {'InnerPosition', ...
        'OuterPosition', ...
        'Position'}));
end
propnames = propnames(~ismember(propnames, ...
    { 'Children', ...
    'CurrentAxes', ...
    'CurrentCharacter', ...
    'CurrentObject', ...
    'CurrentPoint', ...
    'FileName', ...
    'IntegerHandle', ...
    'Parent', }));
set(fig3, propnames, get(fig1, propnames));
savefig(fig3, 'New Fig 2.fig', 'compact');
