Saving a structure with the title of a plot as name

8 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I am currently trying to get get a function that will both save a newly created figure as a .fig-file with it's title being the file name. That works so far.
However, aside from that, the structure that includes all data used for creating the figure should also be saved under the same name. With this second part, I have troubles.
Is there a way to achieve this? It would surprise me if there isn't a way to do this.
function Savefigfun(LPData)
% Savefig saves the newly created figure as a .fig-file named after the
% title of the figure. The saved figure is still editable afterwards.
CurrentFigureTitle=get(gca,'title');
if isempty(CurrentFigureTitle.String)
warning('Error occured.\nCan''t save a figure without title. Please set title before calling [Savefigfun]','class(n)')
warning off
else
savefig(CurrentFigureTitle.String);
save(CurrentFigureTitle.String,"LPData")
end

Claudius - it sounds like CurrentFigureTitle.String is a cell array and so when you access the first element with {1}, you get the string that you expect. Alternatively, you could probably do
save(char(CurrentFigureTitle.String),"LPData")
to get the same result.

Oh, I didn't know that.
I might see which one of the two is more prone to errors.
Every day I learn something new about this program. It is awesome :)
Thank you.
