Hey everyone,

I have a data parser that creates several figures with multiple subplots. In order to keep from interupting the user while the parser is running, I have the figures' 'visible' set to 'off'.

I also use print() to save these figures as a bmp instead of saveas() because saveas() causes a window to briefly pop up while the code is running.

I made a very short and simple script to test my code which works but inside my parser MatLab hangs up as soon as it hits the print() command. It stays 'busy' next to the Start button.

Below is an example of my code (R2011b):

figure('visible','off'); %turn off visibility to prevent figure pop-up
h=figure;
i=1;
while i:4 %make the figure
A=rand(10,1);
B=rand(10,1);
subplot(2,2,i);
scatter(A,B);
i=i+1;
end
print(gcf,'-dbmp','randplot_test'); %save the figure
set(gcf,'visible','on'); %shows the figure to verify that the plots worked

This code shows that I'm using the print() command correctly so I'm not sure what's going wrong. Does anybody know how to fix this or at the very least know another way to save the figure while preventing windows from popping up?

Thanks, Eric
