fixfig

FIXFIG modifies a Matlab figure so it can be used in on-screen presentations such as Powerpoint.

Description

The default settings for Matlab figures (plots) use small fonts and thin lines. This is fine for quickly evaluating data, but these figures are unreadable when used in an on-screen presentation such as a Powerpoint slide set. FIXFIG takes an existing Matlab figure and increases the font sizes, thickens the lines, increases marker sizes, sets the background to white, etc., so that the figure can be used in an on-screen presentation.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b)

Works as advertised. A useful submission.

However, I believe line 96 should be changed from:
        if ~strcmp('mkr','none')
to
        if ~strcmp(mkr,'none')

Good point about the typo at line 96 ('mkr'). This is fixed in the latest version. Thanks for the feedback.

this is a great submission and I use it constantly.

one complaint. When I have a legend and I apply fixfig, it makes the legend box transparent. If there gridlines on my plot, then you see these through the legend box which interferes with the text in the legend box. I have to manually reset the color to white each time.

other than that, this is great.

[M. A. Hopcroft]

I agree the legend box should be opaque; that has been fixed. Thanks for the feedback.

It would be great to add a reset option to retrieve the original font sizes , marker sizes ...
