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

[Philipp Mühlmann]

pittywise   driver()   does also not brings the solution

interstingly playing with usecanvas()  made it possible to only show
pushbuttons in a figure.

e.g.:
usecanvas(%T);

f=figure();plot2d();h=uicontrol(f,'unit','normalized',"style","pushbutton","string","pushbutton",
'Position',[0.1, 0.7, 0.2,
0.1]);h=uicontrol(f,'unit','normalized',"style","frame","string","frame",
'Position',[0.1, 0.5, 0.2, 0.1]);


but expoting this figure as a image file resulted in having the know style.
no pushbuttons rendered, only the figure of plot2d().....(also not the
frame)

In Kanada is' ka' na' da. Sonst wär' Kanada Jemanda.

There we have the salad.
