Proper export for MATLAB figures
Posted in Software
Getting nice figures out of MATLAB can be a challenge. Sometimes it’s fine, but if you’ve hit upon a figure that simply isn’t exporting nicely (bad vector rendering, lost transparency, etc.), check out the export_fig project on Undocumented MATLAB.
I havr a script that sets plot defaults to publish quality parameters. Then I use plot2svg and then align and distribute in inkscape. It’s more work but works like a charm and makes beautiful figures.
