Since some time ago the graphs generated in matlab are saved empty in pdf format with the print function. This happens especially with the heatmap type

What if anything changed (about your MATLAB code, about your MATLAB installation, about your computer, etc.) between the last time the graphs you exported were exported successfully and the first time they were exported empty?

What release of MATLAB are you using and what operating system?

Can you show a small (no more than a dozen lines or so) that generate an empty PDF when you export? Including the call to print will let us make sure you're using it in a way that is expected to work on your release.

Can you make sure you haven't overloaded the print function? What does this command show?

Better would be

fig = figure(ifig);
ax = gca(fig);
heatmap(ax, M_matrix_up,[],[],[],'TickAngle', 45, 'Colorbar',true,'Colormap', 'jet',...
    'MinColorValue', min(min(TRATIO)), 'MaxColorValue', max(max(TRATIO)));
set(ax,'YTick',1:m);
set(ax,'XTick',1:m);
set(ax,'XTickLabel',states,'Fontsize',10);
set(ax,'YTickLabel',states,'Fontsize',10);
title(ax, strcat('Map of Warming Dominance for the',{' '},char(quantiles(j))))
set(fig, 'PaperSize',[29.7 21.0], 'PaperPosition',[0 0 29.7 21.0])
print(fig, strcat('Heat_map_US_',char(quantiles(j)),'_1950_2021'),'-dpdf')
print(fig, strcat('Heat_map_US_',char(quantiles(j)),'_1950_2021'),'-dpng')
print(fig, strcat('Heat_map_US_',char(quantiles(j)),'_1950_2021'),'-deps')

Under the assumption that ifig is a figure number or figure handle instead of a figure name, this could be,

figure(ifig);
ax = gca(ifig);
heatmap(ax, M_matrix_up,[],[],[],'TickAngle', 45, 'Colorbar',true,'Colormap', 'jet',...
    'MinColorValue', min(min(TRATIO)), 'MaxColorValue', max(max(TRATIO)));
set(ax,'YTick',1:m);
set(ax,'XTick',1:m);
set(ax,'XTickLabel',states,'Fontsize',10);
set(ax,'YTickLabel',states,'Fontsize',10);
title(ax, strcat('Map of Warming Dominance for the',{' '},char(quantiles(j))))
set(ifig, 'PaperSize',[29.7 21.0], 'PaperPosition',[0 0 29.7 21.0])
print(ifig, strcat('Heat_map_US_',char(quantiles(j)),'_1950_2021'),'-dpdf')
print(ifig, strcat('Heat_map_US_',char(quantiles(j)),'_1950_2021'),'-dpng')
print(ifig, strcat('Heat_map_US_',char(quantiles(j)),'_1950_2021'),'-deps')

no warning message appears. The graph is created well in Matlab but then in pdf it appears empty. If it saves well in png

Hi @Lola Gadea,

To save a heatmap or any other graph plotted using MATLAB in PDF format, we need to ensure that the figure's size and position properties match the on-screen appearance. To achieve this, you can refer to my following code:

% 10x10 matrix with random values between 0 and 1
data = rand(10, 10); 
% Create the heatmap
h = heatmap(data)
h.Title = 'Dummy Heatmap';
h.XLabel = 'X-axis Label';
h.YLabel = 'Y-axis Label';
colormap('jet');
colorbar;
% saving the figure in PDF format
set(gcf,'Units','inches');
screenposition = get(gcf,'Position');
set(gcf,...
    'PaperPosition',[0 0 screenposition(3:4)],...
    'PaperSize',[screenposition(3:4)]);
print -dpdf -painters myHeatMap

The above code firstly creates a heatmap as usual. Then, I set the figure's size and position and create the PDF accordingly to ensure that the figure appears the same as it does on the screen.

The code for saving the figure works as follows: The first two lines measure the size of your figure (in inches). The next line configures the print paper size to fit the figure size. The last line uses the “print” command to export a vector PDF document as the output.

Very useful. Thank you very much.

Although I don't understand why this didn't happen with previous versions of Matlab.
