How to set specific size of a figure with exportgraphics?

Dear all,

I would like to save a figure with specific size with function.

I saw answers with but I would like to use the environment.

For example I would like to save with the following size:

(sorry guys, but it might be a good idea to stop using non SI units like inches of whatever ^_^)

How can I do it?

X       = 0:10:10;
Y       = X;
Title   = "hello.png";

F = figure;
    plot(X,Y)
exportgraphics(F,Title,'Resolution',600)

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

louis

@Louis Tomczyk: exportgraphics does not provide an option for specifying an output size. That feature has been requested and is being considered, but I don't have any timeline for when/if that will be implemented.

You may find using the print command as an alternative, where the output size can be controlled by setting the figure's PaperPosition property (see the Printing & Exporting section of the figure properties documentation)

I hope that helps.

Dear @Richard Quist,

Thanks for the clear and direct response.

Even with I can hardly fix both size in and resolution.

So finally I will still use only the resolution or "-depsc" format.

Thanks again

best, louis

This doesn't answer your question about controlling exported sizes, but you might be interested in the following export_fig FEX submission maintained by Yair Altman:

Dear @James Tursa,

Yes i saw this, many people mention it.

But I don't know if I want to spend more time on such low importance detail.

Native functions work already quite well.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Best, louis
