I don't know is it's the best but I export to EPS

        set(fig,'renderer','Painters');
        print(fig, 'figurexxx.eps','-depsc2');

Then use EPS2PDF to convert to PDF, then include in LaTeX document.

Even better is to use psfrag with eps files to make in place text replacements using the latex commands.

Good to know. I might try psfrag the next time I write a report.

EDIT: just make a quicktest and pdf2eps produces a better/sharper graph than psfrag. (The output file is also larger).
