Hi,
I have the two codes below for saving plots in my GUI. But first saves just the axes without the labels of axis. The secod saves the figure, which is my whole GUI.
What I would like to do is to save the axes with labels or colorbar or.....
Thanks
1) [file,path]=uiputfile({'*.bmp','BMP'},'Save Image As'); f=getframe(handles.axes); [x,map]=frame2im(f); imwrite(x,fullfile(path, file),'bmp');
2) [file,path]=uiputfile({'*.bmp','BMP'},'Save Image As'); saveas(handles.axes,fullfile(path, file));

Use export_fig ( http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-exportfig) as recommended by the FAQ ( http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_save_my_figure.2C_axes.2C_or_image.3F_I.27m_having_trouble_with_the_built_in_MATLAB_functions.).
It will get you the whole figure or just a single axes. Not sure if the colorbar is considered part of the axes though - would need to try saving the axes to check.
