Thread Subject:

Saving figures from code

I'm trying to generate a bunch of figures in a batch mode and save them off as TIF without a person having to work the menus to save each one.

I found the "saveas" function and it kind of works except that the TIF images look totally different when saved with saveas as compared to when they are saved from the pull down menus. Specifically, the image from the pulldowns has the same aspect ratio and font size as the figure on the screen. The image from saveas has a different aspect ratio (more square) and the fonts are big (such that legends cover text, etc.).

Any help on this would be great, thanks.
