I understand that you are trying to capture and print or export the entire GUI window in a MATLAB application created with GUIDE. Since the `print` command may not directly work for capturing the entire GUI, you can use the `getframe` function to capture the GUI window as an image and then print or save it. Here's a step-by-step approach:
1. Use the `getframe` function to capture the current state of the GUI window. You need to specify the handle to the figure window you want to capture.
hFig = gcf; % Get the current figure handle
frame = getframe(hFig); % Capture the entire window
img = frame.cdata;
2. Use `imwrite` to save the captured image to a file, such as a PNG or JPEG.
imwrite(img, 'my_gui_capture.png'); % Save as PNG
3. If you want to print the captured image, you can use the `imwrite` function to save it temporarily and then use a command like `print` or `system` to send it to a printer, depending on your operating system and setup.
% Assume hFig is the handle to your GUI figure
hFig = gcf; % Get the current figure handle
% Capture the entire GUI window
frame = getframe(hFig);
img = frame.cdata;
% Save the image to a file
imwrite(img, 'my_gui_capture.png');
% Optionally, send the image to a printer
% system('lp my_gui_capture.png'); % For UNIX-based systems
% print -dprinter 'my_gui_capture.png' % For Windows, replace with your printer setup
Make sure to replace `'my_gui_capture.png'` with your desired file name and path. Additionally, ensure that your printer setup commands match your operating system and printer configuration.
I hope this helps!
