capture

Purpose

Screen capture of current figure (UNIX only).

Synopsis

capture(fig)
capture
[X,map] = capture

Description

capture(fig) makes a new figure that contains a copy of the figure with handle fig. This screen capture contains any uimenus or uicontrols present in fig.

capture, with no input arguments, captures the current figure.

[X,map] = capture(fig) returns an image matrix and a colormap representing the figure fig. To display this information, use

colormap(map)
image(X)
capture produces a bitmap copy of the contents of the figure window and displays it as a single image object in a new figure window. The resolution of this copy is not as good as that obtained with the print command. Unlike print, however, capture includes uimenus and uicontrols. Use capture followed by print to obtain hardcopy that includes ui objects as well as an image or graphics.
