Hi Ali,
I understand that you have a GUI program that generates a 2D array and displays it using imagesc. Users can customize the figure's appearance, and you want to save this customized figure as an image file without borders and axes.
I assume you want to preserve the customizations (like zoom, colormap, axis adjustments) made by the user before saving the figure.
- Capture the Figure: Use "getframe" to capture the currently displayed figure, including all user-made customizations.
% Assume 'hFig' is the handle to your figure
frame = getframe(hFig);
img = frame.cdata;
- Remove Borders and Axes: If you want to remove axes and borders, ensure they are turned off before capturing.
% Turn off axes and borders
set(gca, 'Visible', 'off');
- Save the Image: Use "imwrite" to save the captured image data to a file in the desired format (e.g., JPEG).
% Save the image as a JPEG file
imwrite(img, 'custom_figure.jpg');
- Restore Axes and Borders: If needed, restore the axes and borders after saving.
% Restore axes visibility
set(gca, 'Visible', 'on');
- Provide User Options: Allow the user to choose the file format and location using "uiputfile".
% Let the user choose file format and location
[file, path] = uiputfile({'*.jpg';'*.png';'*.tiff'}, 'Save Image As');
if ischar(file)
imwrite(img, fullfile(path, file));
end
