I want my "figure formatting function" to copy the current figure if it is called from "base"-workspace but not if it is called from another function or script. How can I add this functionally to my "figure formatting function"?

thanks

With the dbstack function you can get the calling functions. Be aware that some releases have a function that is called to run a section, while older releases just return an empty struct.

Thanks!

ST = dbstack;
  if length(ST)==1 % then it is in base otherwise the stack is "longer"
      print(h,'-dmeta') % this puts a copy of the figure in the clipboard
      disp(['Figure copied']);
  end
