Printing and Exporting Figures with MATLAB

Adjusting Lines and Text for Printing

How colored lines and text print depends upon your printer's color capability and the color setting you specify for printing. You can adjust the output appearance of colored lines and text by:

• Printing your colored lines and text in color, grayscale, or black and white (printing only)
• Working with black-and-white printers
• Setting linestyles
• Getting the right fonts

Exported Figures

Most of the discussion in this chapter pertains to printing, especially regarding line and text color. The color of lines and text in exported figures depends on the color capability of the file format you choose. See Preserving Colors in Exported Figures for more information.
