| Printing and Exporting Figures with MATLAB | |
Invoking the Page Setup Dialog Box
Open the File menu on the figure window and select Page Setup.
Use the Print Preview dialog box to preview the way your figure will look on the printed page. The preview shows the size and placement of the figure on the printed page, the paper orientation, and also gives indications about how colored lines or text will be handled by a black and white printer. Zoom buttons enable you to view the full page or to see parts of the page closeup. The Print Preview dialog box does not enable you to make any figure or paper settings directly. You can make such settings from the Page Setup dialog box, which can be invoked from the Print Preview dialog box.
