Hello guys.
I have a problem when I try to save matlab image as a pdf, only a part of the image is saved in the pdf format as we can see in the attached file.
Thank you in advance
the folowwing code is :
clear all
figure(1)
set(gcf, 'WindowState', 'maximized');
plot([-1 -1 1 1 -1],[-1 1 1 -1 -1],'k','LineWidth',5);
axis square
xlabel('x')
ylabel('y')
set(gca,'fontweight','bold','fontsize',30);
hold off
saveas(gcf,'myfigure.pdf')

i think it's working correctly. Be careful because with this line:
set(gcf, 'WindowState', 'maximized');
you specify that the plot will be saved as fullscreen so the .pdf image will represent that. Meaning that if you for example resize the plot window and consequently resize the axis their ticks will change.
In images:
this is the saved pdf (left) and the fullscreen plot (right) which are the same. so it is working correctly.
and this is the plot resized (draging the corners of the figure after generation), which is different just because of the figure scale
