fig2texPS - Export Matlab Figure to LaTeX

awesome, been using fit2tex for a while, this just adds a lot of extra bling bling :)

thank you very much!

Hi Peter, I made some changes to your script regarding the use of pdflatex, now the files created use ifpdf package to compile for pdflatex and latex. I didn't know where to put it, so you can find it here: http://pastebin.com/cHGqD9a5

Also, I found a bug when you have points outside of the axis size, in which those points are removed from the plot.

I'm not sure if my approach is correct or not, but did the job for my test scenarios. Also, it may help others.

Hi, I love your script. It work really good. However, I'm struggling with a couple of things.
First, it would be great if you add an option for pdflatex. You can compile it using \usepackage[pdf]{pstricks} instead of the normal pstricks header that you already have. However, this only works for the stand alone version. Which creates my second issue.

The thing is that if you have a two column document, the size of the document is fixed, is there a way to make it change with the \linewidth. So it will be relative to one or two column documents.

Thanks for your work. :)

The marker legend problem is solved. It was not the script. (fig2texPS is a great script!!) It was XeLaTeX !! Compiled with LaTeX and converted with dvips and epstopdf, I obtained a perfect PDF graphic file. Wondeful.

@ Bertrand Scherrer: Thank you for your help. I have integrated your code to the latest version 0.5.2 that can be found here:
http://fig2texps.peter-scholz.net
The borders of the text boxes are now also shown. But there is still some finetuning to implement, e.g. an automatic linebreak for longer text. I will do that when I'll find some time for that :-)

Ah, it was the version number that was the problem - of course I downloaded the one from this page instead of going to your page to get the most recent one - doh!

Thank you very much for the help - you're a life saver with this script! :)

I have trouble exporting errorbar plots. Do the package support these? A simple plot like

errorbar(1:10,sin(1:10),0.1*sin(1:10))

exports fine (apparently, not errors at least), but after compiling, my DVI viewer simply stalls with weird errors. If I try to convert the dvi document to a pdf, my GhostScript simply tells me there was an unrecoverable error, and that it stopped.. :(

Great submission! very much what I was looking for - am having problems though adding text to the figure itself (using Matlab's text() command) - and ignore my last rating, that was an accident! 5 stars.

@ Petter: You have to set
set(0,'DefaultFigureWindowStyle','normal')
I have updated the code so that there will be given a warning in your case.

I cannot run this file

??? Error using ==> figure
Error using ==> figure
Cannot set DockControls to 'off' while WindowStyle is 'docked'

Error in ==> fig2texPS at 891
fig.figh=figure('Name','Figure that will be converted to TeX',...

Might be a conflict with
set(0,'DefaultFigureWindowStyle','docked');
