Hi,

I'm running into a problem when exporting figures to any format. The solid lines in the plot have notches cut out.

check the above link for an example picture of the problem.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hi Brian

You haven't told us what commands you're using to generate this. They would help.

Try changing the renderer used (painters, opengl or zbuffer).

You could also try export_fig (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-exportfig), again trying all 3 renderers.

HTH,
Oliver

so far, i'm just using file>export setup>export option to save output files.

Using that option, i've tried the custom renderer and selected painters, opengl or zbuffer all with the same resulting output. My dpi setting is 600.

I'll try the export_fig... but do you have any suggestions why exporting my figures isn't working?

Thanks,
Brian

sorry... with painters and zbuffer don't handle the alpha transparency well, so the plots look altogether different. The whole shaded area becomes solid. so... using openGL still leads to the problems.

Sounds like another of the MATLAB rendering bugs. You should report it.

Let us know if export_fig does any better.
