Printing MATLAB Graphics (Using MATLAB Graphics)

Using MATLAB Graphics

Windows 95 Limitation

Microsoft Windows 95 does not support broken line styles for lines whose width is greater than 1 pixel. Unfortunately, most printers produce lines more than 1 pixel thick, so in most cases, Windows 95 drivers produce solid lines, regardless of the setting of LineStyleOrder.

There are various ways you can work around this problem:

Set up MATLAB to use lines 1 pixel wide, by adding this line to the [MATLAB Settings] section of your MATLAB.INI file:
This will result in very thin lines, but the lines will print with the specified styles.
Set the figure's Renderer property to zbuffer:
This will result in the printed output matching the screen display. See "Selecting the Rendering Method" for more information about z-buffer.
Use a PostScript or Ghostscript device. These drivers bypass the Windows Print Manager.
