Thread Subject: saving plots as seen in the figure window

Hi,

I have a figure which is basically a scatterplot with text at each location which needs to be white against the coloured background of the points. The figure displays exactly how I want it in the figure window. I am using:

print -dtiffn -r400 filename

to save a high quality version for publication. This works fine, except that in the saved tiff file the previously white text is now black and much harder to see. The same happens using -djpeg100 and png/emf/bmp formats. Does anybody know why the colour changes and what I can do to prevent it?

Thanks
Jon

Try Oliver Woodford's fine "export_fig."
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-exportfig
I don't mess around with the built-in MATLAB functions anymore,
precisely because of problems like you and others experienced.
