Tips
For the fastest performance when using
getframe
, make sure that the figure is visible on the screen. If the figure is not visible,getframe
can still capture the figure, but performance can be slower.For more control over the resolution of the image data, use the
print
function instead. Thecdata
output argument with print returns the image data. Theresolution
input argument controls the resolution of the image.To ensure that colorbars and legends displayed next to 3-D plots are captured, specify the
fig
argument when you callgetframe
.
