Thread Subject: seqlogo: how save to color eps

Hi

If I use the seqlogo command in the bioinformatics toolbox,
it makes a pretty picture, but if I select 'print + print
to file', it comes out black/white and not color. If I save
as .png and covnert to .eps in illustrator, it is very poor
quality.
How can I generate a good looking color eps file?

On a somewhat related note, how I can I make seqdisp
display characters in color? (I'm happy to hack it using
fprintf, but don't know how to do that either)

Thanks
Kevin

Click mouse on your seqlogo figure, and try the following
code

%S = {'ATTATAGCAAACTA',...
% 'AACATGCCAAAGTA',...
% 'ATCATGCAAAAGGA'}
% Display the sequence logo of S
%seqlogo(S)

shohid = get(0,'ShowHiddenHandles');
set(0,'ShowHiddenHandles','on')

saveas(gcf,'seqlogo.eps','epsc')
set(0,'ShowHiddenHandles',shohid)

Then check the file 'seqlogo.eps' in the working folder.
