PATCH PLOT - RGB COLOR
Show older comments
Hello!
I use the path command to plot the results of a finite element computation. I also use the 'Face','interp' option for coloring. So far, I haven't found a way to produce a vector graphic (eps, tiff, ...) from this plot! I think MatLab has some problems with the 'Rederer'!? How can I create a vector graphic from such a plot?
Thank you!

@Franz-Josef: Why do you think, that Matlab has problems with the renderer? Do the standard methods "print('-depsc')" or "saveas('pdf')" work, and if not, what are the problems?

If the OpenGL renderer is active, Matlab export pixel graphics even for the EPS and PDF format. This is not a bug or problem, but a limitation of the PostScript format, which does not support 3D natively. Mutual intersection of triangles and translucency cannot be displayed in PostScript. Therefore the EPS will contain a high-resolution pixel image only.
Only the Painters renderer can create native vector formats.
