Bad data returned by HARDCOPY. Not calling IMWRITE

Van Lancker Eric — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 11:04:52 -0500

Hi,

In a batch processing using the command
print(gcf,'-r126','-djpeg75',[Pn Fn]);
I have sometimes (1 time upon 1000) the following error

Error using ==> print
Error using ==> graphics\private\render
Bad data returned by HARDCOPY. Not calling IMWRITE.

Hardcopy is a built-in function.
I can't reproduce the error...and cannot find the bug !!

Thanks in advance.
Eric

Hello,

I randomly get this message and have the same problems that you describe.
Do you know a solution to this, or a way around it?

Thank you,

Isabel

Hi,

this error is likely due to memory shortage. I began getting it after introducing a line that loaded a large matrix into memory. Clearing the corresponding variable before printing the figures put an end to the problem.
