MATLAB Function Reference

capture

capture is obsolete in Release 11 (5.3). getframe provides the same functionality and supports TrueColor displays by returning TrueColor images.

Syntax

• capture
  capture(h)
  [X,cmap] = capture(h)
  

Description

capture creates a bitmap copy of the contents of the current figure, including any uicontrol graphics objects. It creates a new figure and displays the bitmap copy as an image graphics object in the new figure.

capture(h) creates a new figure that contains a copy of the figure identified by h.

[X,cmap] = capture(h) returns an image matrix X and a colormap. You display this information using the statements

• colormap(cmap)
  image(X)
  

Remarks

The resolution of a bitmap copy is less than that obtained with the print command.
