Copying axes into Figure only copies the half of the actual plot.

1 view (last 30 days)
I'm trying to copy the plot from my GUI axes into another figure then saving it as a JPEG file, but the copying of the object only copies half way of the plot.
See image attached. (Left is the copied plot from axes1 in GUI, right is the axes1 in the actual GUI.
Here is the code I'm using to copy the objects.
plot1name = ['Plot1' '.jpeg'];
h = findobj(gcf,'type','axes');
fig1 = figure('Visible','on');
newAxe1 = copyobj(h,fig1);
saveas(fig1,plot1name);

The GUI figure is bigger (in particular, taller) than Figure 1, so that may be the reason. It depends on the Units and Position properties of the axes.

Thank you, that was it, I didnt have the correct position properties of the axes.

In addition to copying the axis children, copy the axis properties, too, especially the axis limits.
