How to save multiple images by using saveas command?

15 views (last 30 days)
Hi, i am using stl file reader (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/22409-stl-file-reader?s_tid=srchtitle) to read stl model and made some changes to obtain multiple images with differen views, so i want save them all. i tried saveas command by wasnt able to save, so can somebody help me? There is a code
fv = stlread('cameraleft.stl');
%%Render
% The model is rendered with a PATCH graphics object. We also add some dynamic
% lighting, and adjust the material properties to change the specular
% highlighting.
for i=0:5:90
k=1:20;
patch(fv,'FaceColor', [0.8 0.8 1.0], ...
'EdgeColor', 'none', ...
'FaceLighting', 'gouraud', ...
'AmbientStrength', 0.15);
% Add a camera light, and tone down the specular highlighting
camlight('headlight');
material('dull');
% Fix the axes scaling, and set a nice view angle
axis('image');
figure
v1=view([i -180]);
axis off
temp=['',num2str(k),'.jpg'];
saveas(gca,temp);
end

wasnt able to save multiple images, it only saved last one and give name 1 2 3 4...20.jpg

That's because you used k instead of i. You should have done
fileName = sprintf('%d.jpg', i); % Create filename.
saveas(gca, fileName);
See KSSV's code below.

You used k instead of i. You should have done
fileName = sprintf('%d.PNG', i); % Create filename from i.
saveas(gca, fileName);
I don't even know what the point of k is. Why did you even create it?
Don't use JPG format - use PNG for higher quality. With the code you'll get 0.PNG, 5.PNG, 10.PNG, ..... 90.PNG.

If you want to save images, try using getframe() and then saving that with imwrite(). Set an image counter to zero before the loop:
imageCounter = 0;
Then, in the loop, get the image and save it with the right name:
rgbImage = getframe(gca);
imageCounter = imageCounter + 1;
fileName = sprintf('%d.PNG', imageCounter); % Create filename from imageCounter.
imwrite(rgbImage, fileName);

Again same problem, firstly rgbImage was struct data type so i made last row like this imwrite(rgbImage.cdata, fileName); and again in saved image was only background i mean without object, when i tried manually(from figure save command) save evething was ok.

Check the below demo code:
N = 10 ;
for i = 1:N
plot(rand(N,1)) ;
saveas(gcf,[num2str(i),'.jpg'])
end

You'd do
folder = 'c:\whatever'; % Change this to whatever you want.
for k = 1 : N
baseFileName = sprintf('%d.png', k);
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
saveas(gca, fullFileName); % Save current axes (not the whole figure).
end
