Graphic File Formats

MATLAB enables you to export figures to a number of standard graphic file formats via the selection of the appropriate device option for the print command. This section lists the devices supported by MATLAB.

Built-in Devices

When you enter a print command, MATLAB uses the device type returned by printopt. You can override the default by specifying a different device with a command-line switch.

The set of devices you can specify varies depending on your system. All systems support a core set of built-in device drivers.

MATLAB has built-in drivers for these device types:

This table summarizes the command-line switches for MATLAB's built-in device drivers.
