How can I make my exported figure appear exactly the same way as it does in MATLAB 7.14 (R2012a)?

I have a figure window in MATLAB containing a plot or other graphics. When I use the PRINT or SAVEAS commands, some aspects of the figure change when exported, such as the labels, font size, or other features. I would like to ensure that the figure elements remain the same as they appear in MATLAB when I export the figure from MATLAB.

One method is to use the MATLAB Central File Exchange submission EXPORT_FIG:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-export_fig

To use EXPORT_FIG:

1. Download the files from the above link.

2. Extract the files to a new directory.

3. Add the directory to the MATLAB path with the following command, as an example:

addpath(genpath('export_fig'));

4. Export the figure with the following syntax (for example):

export_fig(gcf,'image.png');
