Save Matlab GUI as vector graphics

I would like to present my Matlab GUI in a big poster, so I would like to safe it as a vector graphic and not just take a screenshot.

Is there an easy way to do that?

I am using matlab 2014a on OSX Mavericks

Solution

  • When you create a gui in matlab， you must have a matched *.fig file

    Then you can use

    fig=openfig('mygui.fig');
print(fig,'-dpdf','test.pdf')

    or 

    fig=openfig('mygui.fig');
saveas(fig,'test.pdf')

    Also you can control very options like

    fig=openfig('mygui.fig');
fig.InvertHardcopy = 'off';  %background
set(fig,'PaperPositionMode','auto'); % size position
print(fig,'-dpdf','test.pdf')
