When I use saveas() to save a figure in the .eps format for inclusion in a latex file, the figure as it appears in the resulting .pdf file has lost its color. This doesn't happen when I use File -> Save As from the menu and select .eps as the file type.

The only two colors I am using are black (RGB = [0 0 0]) and gray (RGB = [.5 .5 .5]). Yet in the .pdf file, all the graph lines are black.

using "print" might be a better option.(Try using the eps color option "-depsc" instead of the black and white option).
If that does not help, you can also try doing :
set(gcf, 'InvertHardCopy', 'off');
because sometimes the colors are changed when the figure is being printed.

Thanks, yes, print does preserve the size, but it turns off the grid lines! Again, this only happens from the command line use of print, not from using "Save As" from the figure menu. Still, with a lot of graphs, it would be nice to automate this.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

a hint:
- look at this, which shows you how to use a style sheet programmatically
- this is done by ...save as...
