Please what is the best way to import Matlab/Simulink figures in a scientific paper ?
Hi!
You can modify the properties of your picture using File -> Export Setup. Close Export Setup and use File -> Print Preview to modify the apparence of your figure. Then go back to Export setup and export your figure in the format you prefer (.pdf or .eps are recommended).
I save figures from Matlab as *.eps files, this format can be upload in word and latex.
Dear Saad,
Editable figures can improve the quality of your manuscript; moreover, some journals set it as a mandatory rule for their review process, for example:
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This means that your figures must be saved in PDF, EPS, or EMF. I highly recommend that you use EMF (or meta file) for your figures. You can follow these steps to save as EMF:
(1) MATLAB Figure:
If you have a plotted figure or chart, you can easily go to EDIT -> Copy Figure, then paste it in your word file. You can use Word crop tool to remove the blank spaces around the image.
(2) MATLAB Simulink:
If you have to capture a Simulink scheme, you can refer to the attached file.
Best regards,
Dear Saad,
The best way to export an image from Matlab is through the following statement:
Print -djpg -r300 picture1
Placed at the end of the plotting routine. In this way we obtain a figure with the desired resolution and not as in the other options offered that gives a figure with poor resolution. Then, in the word processor is inserted the figure obtained, solving your problem.
Best Regards,
Dante.
just ignore if this is self-evident:
For Matlab you can simply use the saveas() function for the current figure as follows:
saveas(gcf,[myFileName '.myExtension'])
The picture will be exported according to myExtension (eps, pdf, png ...)
