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

[Philipp Mühlmann]

it seems that:

exportUI() only recognizes figure handles (and axes) for the export.

since pushbuttons etc. are not figure handles they are not exported?


e.g.: handles.mypushbotton.style = "pushbutton"

...should be maybe "figure", "frame" or "axes" to be recognized by
exportUI().

Seems to be the same with "printfigure()"




sidequestion:

Is it possible to export content of a xml-file to an figure/image?

If so one could maybe use:

   saveGui(gcf(), 'screenshot.xml');

and than convert the content of the xml file into an image?
