Dear Catarina,

Many thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, plot2svg has at the moment no support for depth sorting of graphics objects. Only depth sorting of surfaces is supported. To support an universal dept-sorting I have to design a z-buffer algorithm from scratch or use a c++/java library. Or I would need access to the Matlab internals. At the moment, my plot2svg has to generate the svg elements just from the user data. Also the svg element saving has to be changed as I need some further buffering and sorting before writing the svg file. Thus, it would be a major change.
For your application, you have to split the line into two parts and sort the elements according their z-position in the view space. There are some code fragments in the plot2svg code that do the same thing for surfaces.
I'm sorry that I can give you no better advice at the moment. Let's hope that the Matlab graphics engine itself gets some upgrading with improved support of all the new technologies like svg, filters, animation, ...

% Example how to adjust your figure properties for
% publication needs (answer to Aslak Grinsted's question)
s = figure;
% Select the default font and font size
% Note: Matlab does internally round the font size
% to decimal pt values
set(s, 'DefaultTextFontSize', 10); % [pt]
set(s, 'DefaultAxesFontSize', 10); % [pt]
set(s, 'DefaultAxesFontName', 'Times New Roman');
set(s, 'DefaultTextFontName', 'Times New Roman');
% Select the preferred unit like inches, centimeters,
% or pixels
set(s, 'Units', 'centimeters');
pos = get(s, 'Position');
pos(3) = 8; % Select the width of the figure in [cm]
pos(4) = 6; % Select the height of the figure in [cm]
set(s, 'Position', pos);
set(s, 'PaperType', 'a4letter');
% From SVG 1.1. Specification:
% "1pt" equals "1.25px"
% "1pc" equals "15px"
% "1mm" would be "3.543307px"
% "1cm" equals "35.43307px"
% "1in" equals "90px"

Hi Felix, many thanks for the feedback! Bug 1 is already implemented together with additional tex elements. These changes will soon be published together with a minor label bugfix. I was not able to reproduce bug 2 & 3. Could you please send me an example. Many thanks. Juerg.

Hi Cesar Roda Neve,
This is not a bug in plot2svg. It's a limitation of Inkscape and Firefox. Other browsers like Opera or Chrome can handle it. The SVG code for sub and super script is conform to the SVG 1.1 specification. I'm aware of the limitation and will try to find a workaround for Inkscape and Firefox.

The following seems to fix the ylabel issue:

if get(ax, 'YLabel') == id
    x=fontsize*1.25*1.2;
end

after x is computed in text2svg.

ylabels end up too close to the yticks on the axis in the SVG file. The Matlab figure is correct.

When using matlab2011b i get this:

Error in plot2svg (line 182)
[pathstr,name,ext,versn] = fileparts(finalname);

The solution is simple, just change line 182 to:
[pathstr,name,ext] = fileparts(finalname);

Anyway nice tool!

I found the solution and mention it in here in case somebody else faces similar situation. The problem arose due to the fact that I uses:
axis([0 inf 0 10])
normally, Matlab interprets 'inf' in axis command as a hint to specify the upper bound of the axis itself, which is does and the plot is OK. But for some reason, plot2svg has an issue with that. Changing it to something like:
axis([0 5 0 10])
will fix the problem.

It is very helpful, specially for somebody like me who wants to export figures to LaTex (through inkscape). I have successfully used plot2svg for a figure and it worked perfectly, however, for another figure, I got the following message:
Matlab/Octave to SVG converter version 10-Nov-2010, Juerg Schwizer (converter@bluewin.ch).
Warning: The fourth output, VERSN, of FILEPARTS will be removed in a future release.
> In fileparts at 35
  In plot2svg at 182
Warning: NaN found in Y, interpolation at undefined values
will result in undefined values.
> In interp1 at 179
  In plot2svg>gridLines at 709
  In plot2svg>axes2svg at 975
  In plot2svg at 221

and the warning goes on and on for every 'gridline' following the first. And the output is almost empty. It is a 3x2 subplot with two titles, 6 ylabels and 2 xlabels.
