How to save a scope to an image file without using a graph?

Question

This condition is very important because the schedule is stretching my schedule in an unacceptable way.

Answer 1

If the MikeT comment is correct and you are trying to save the image shown in the Scope block, there are several ways to do this:

• Print the contents of the area window by clicking the Print icon, the leftmost icon on the Scope toolbar. Then select print to file, not to printer.
• Create an editable drawing from the area block using SIMPLOT . This will create a shape that looks like a display on the screen of the Scope block, then you can save the shape to a file using the window with the File drawing or the SAVEAS or PRINT functions.

Answer 2

Since gnovice's answer is deprecated (at least with R2013) and the new built-in function is rather inconvenient to use, I would like to suggest my little script.

set(0,'ShowHiddenHandles','On') set(gcf,'Units','centimeters','PaperUnits','centimeters') pos = get(gcf,'Position'); set(gcf,'PaperPosition',[0 0 pos(3) pos(4)],'Papersize',[ pos(3),pos(4) ]); set(gcf,'InvertHardcopy','off','Renderer','painters') saveas(gcf,'scope.pdf') 

Which gives you vector graphics of exactly the same size and looks like the last window of an open area. Of course, you can change additional properties, as well as print it as jpeg with a certain resolution. But then you better use print :

 ... set(gcf,'Renderer','zbuffer') print(gcf,'scope.jpg','-djpeg','-r600') 

results in a 600 dpi Jpeg file. Units do not matter much if they are consistent between the pattern and the paper.

Answer 3

A quick fix would be to select File - Print to Figure within the area. This will open a drawing that can be saved as .fig .
