Thread Subject: Print figures to a specified folder

Hi all,
I'm sure there is one who can answer my question.
I'm creating several figures and saving them by "print" command.
However, I would like to save them into a user-specified folder. It
might be nice to have solution in the syntax of
print('-f1', '-dpng',user_specified_folder','filename');

Thanks in advance.

>> print -dpng [path filename]

For example, if you're in the directory C:\dir1\ and you wish to
print pic.eps to the directory C:\dir2\dir3\, you can type:

>> print -dpng ..\dir2\dir3\pic.eps

You can use absolute paths as well.

Trevor hi,
I think what you recommended is not working. because it says

>> print -f1 -dpng ..\dir2\pic.eps
??? Error using ==> print
Error using ==> c:/matlab6p5/toolbox/matlab/graphics/private/name
Cannot create output file '..\dir2\pic.eps'

I wanted my figure(1) to save a directory named as dir2 with the name
pic as .png file.

sorry, I could not succeded.

I just had the same problem and managed to solve it, but I couldn't find my solution anywhere on the web...

Actually my mistake was pretty dumb - just a typo in the pathname - but the real limitation is that the print command can't create a new directory. (Note this is a useful limitation, otherwise my image would've ended up in a completely different folder and I'd never find it.)
