[Scilab-users] Exporting figures containing uicontrols to any format

[Philipp Mühlmann]

Dear all,

searching a little how GUI's can be "screenshotted" in Matlab gave me
following:

Request on a Matlab forum, see:

https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/146264

[...] " In order to show users without atlab on their desktop the output, i
want to create a export function."

This could be the reason for having the oppertunity of screenshotting a GUI.

Anyways:

to me it seems that following is needed to do the trick:

[name,path,index] = uiputfile
saveas(guifigurehandle,[path name]);

while   "saveas" calls  "print"
see "ocatave" code:
https://fossies.org/dox/octave-4.0.3/saveas_8m_source.html

The print.m code is than way beyond my code understanding.
see "ocatave" code:
https://fossies.org/dox/octave-4.0.3/print_8m_source.html


best regards,
Phil
