Printing MATLAB Graphics (Using MATLAB Graphics)

Using MATLAB Graphics

Setting Figure Printing Properties

Figure objects have several properties that control the size and aspect ratio of the printed graphic. You can set these properties from the command line or M-files using the set command or define default values for these properties if you want to change MATLAB's defaults. You can also set these properties from the printing dialog boxes, which is generally the easiest approach. The following table lists these properties and the dialog box where you can set them.


Property	Purpose	Set In Dialog
`InvertHardcopy`	Change figure colors for printing	Copy Options
`PaperOrientation`	Horizontal or vertical paper orientation	Page Setup or Print Setup
`PaperPosition`	Location and size of figure on printed page	Page Setup
`PaperPositionMode`	Use the `PaperPosition` values or the actual screen size of the figure	Page Setup, check MatchFigure Screen Size for `auto` and Set Manual Position and Size for `manual`
`PaperSize`	Size of `PaperType`	Page Setup (read only)
`PaperType`	Standard paper sizes	Print Setup (sets paper size)
`PaperUnits`	Units used by `PaperPosition` and `PaperSize`	Page Setup
