Exporting image to bounded pdf

104 次查看(过去 30 天)
If I do this:
set(gcf,'PaperPosition',[0,0,4,3]) print -depsc2 filename.eps
I get a nice image I can include in a latex document. However, if I need to use pdflatex, then I need a pdf image. Now, I know I can use epstopdf to convert the above eps image to pdf, and it works very well, but I wonder if I can do this directly from Matlab. When I try:
set(gcf,'PaperPosition',[0,0,4,3]) print -dpdf filename.pdf
I get a full page, with the image in the lower left corner. Now, I know of tools I can use to crop this result, but I am wondering if I can do this directly in Matlab code.

There are couple of ways to do it
1. plot something do this code
plot([1:10]);
set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0 0 5 5]); %Position plot at left hand corner with width 5 and height 5.
set(gcf, 'PaperSize', [5 5]); %Set the paper to have width 5 and height 5.
saveas(gcf, 'test', 'pdf') %Save figure
2. if you have installed latex then pdfcrop is already installed with it so you can do like this.
saveas(gca,'test.pdf');
system('pdfcrop test.pdf test.pdf');
3. you make your own save function and follow 1 or 2 or may be some other procedure to do it.

Hi,
If you are linux user then Option 2 works perfectly for all cases. Just two lines without any configurations :-), I m not sure that pdfcrop command works on windows also after installing the latex :-).

Nope, none of these work on the Mac. When using the latex interpreter, the labels are cut off.

follow code generated good pdf check
close all;
t=linspace(0,2*pi,500);
P=1/17*exp(-t).*(4*sin(4*t)-cos(4*t))+18/17;
plot(t,P)
xlabel('$t$-axis',...
'interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',10)
ylabel('$P$-axis',...
'interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',10)
title('$P''=e^x/(y+1)$',...
'interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',12)
grid on
axis tight
set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0 0 5 5]); %Position plot at left hand corner with width 5 and height 5.
set(gcf, 'PaperSize', [5 5]); %Set the paper to have width 5 and height 5.
saveas(gcf, 'test', 'pdf') %Save figure
Make sure to put width and height to 5
set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0 0 5 5]); %Position plot at left hand corner with width 5 and height 5.
set(gcf, 'PaperSize', [5 5]); %Set the paper to have width 5 and height 5.
saveas(gcf, 'test', 'pdf') %Save figure

Nice! Worked. See:
http://msemac.redwoods.edu/~darnold/math55/matlab/test2.pdf
But these are not the dimensions I want.

I m sorry David, I didn't get what you mean by dimensions. If you mean the x and y label/ticks then you can set manually.
set(gca,'YTick',[1.0 1.05 1.10 1.15 1.2 ]);
or even exactly whatever your values are.

OK, this export_fig uses the screen position and coloring, so I tried this:
close all;
t=linspace(0,2*pi,500);
P=1/17*exp(-t).*(4*sin(4*t)-cos(4*t))+18/17;
plot(t,P)
xlabel('$t$-axis',...
'interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',10)
ylabel('$P$-axis',...
'interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',10)
title('$P''=e^x/(y+1)$',...
'interpreter','latex',...
'FontSize',12)
grid on
axis tight
set(gcf, 'Color','White')
set(gcf,'Units','Inches')
set(gcf,'Position',[5,4,4,3])
export_fig test4 -pdf
This gave me the following image, which has file size 16KB.

Which appears like this in the tex file.

Again, the grid lines appear a bit faded. But progress is being made thanks to some very helpful people. Much appreciated.

Hello,
You can set grid line width with the axes LineWidth property, but this will changes both the axes and the grid.
Also you change the style of the grid lines with
set(gca,'GridLineStyle','-')
Unfortunately there is not something like
set(gca,'GridLineWidth',10)
HTH,
Florin
