"print" saves image with tiny title/xlabel

Hi

I'm trying to save a figure using 'print' but this process doesn't preserve the image/text proportions that are on my screen. If the image is scaled down to the size I specified when creating the figure handle, then the title is unreadably small. Is there a way to use print to save a .tif file as it appears on my screen?

I've had a read of the MATLAB help but can't get my head around the article which seems to be written with actual printers in mind.

Regards, Mike

To export figures nicely, you may want to have a look at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-exportfig

I agree, as does 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. You can also change the size of titles and axes labels and other text with the 'FontSize' option:

 title('This is the top caption of my plot', 'FontSize', 30);

Use

set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'centimeters','PaperPosition', [0 0 6 3]);

Choose your dimension, before saving the figure
