Exporting Figure as Vector Content File
5 views (last 30 days)

I am on 2021b version trying to use the exportgraphics function to export my figure to a .eps vector graphics file for figure composition in Adobe Illustrator.
Below is the code I am using to accomplish this.
ax = gca;
exportgraphics(ax,'FileName.eps','ContentType','vector')
The issue I am having is the figure in the .eps file is missing components.
See below for what is expected:

Here is the .eps output of the export function:

So it looks like not only is the alpha of the patch objects altered, but the line objects are just not there. Everything else looked fine to me. How can I correct this? I have tried using export_fig from the fileshare but there are issues with M1 Mac compatibility: see issue #352 https://github.com/altmany/export_fig/issues/352

Hi,
Can you try doing similar to this code?
figure;
plot(1:10, rand(1,10));
exportgraphics(gcf, 'figure.eps', 'ContentType', 'vector')
You can also check this page Save Plot as Image or Vector Graphics File - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks India for more details.
Hope it helps!
