  • Windows metafile

• Capture figure from screen: Captures the figure for the generated report directly from the screen. Options include:

  • Client area only: Captures part of the figure.

  • Entire figure window: Captures the entire figure window.

Print Options

• Paper orientation:

  • Landscape

  • Portrait

  • Rotated

  • Use figure orientation: Uses the orientation for the figure, which you set with the orient command.

  • Full page image (PDF only): In PDF reports, scales images to fit the full page, minimizes page margins, and maximizes the size of the image by using either a portrait or landscape orientation.

  For more information about paper orientation, see the orient command in the MATLAB documentation.

• Image size:

  • Use figure PaperPositionMode setting: Uses the figure's PaperPositionMode property as the image size in the report. For more information about paper position mode, see the orient command in the MATLAB documentation.

  • Automatic (same size as on screen): Sets the image in the report to the same size as it appears on the screen.

  • Custom: Specifies a custom image size. Set the image size in the Size field and Units list.

• Size: Specifies the size of the image in the format [w h] (width, height). This field is active only if you choose Custom in the Image size selection list.

• Units: Specifies the units for the size of the image. This field is active only if you choose Set image size in the Custom selection list.

• Invert hardcopy: Inverts colors for printing, that is changes dark colors to light colors and light colors to dark colors, by setting the InvertHardcopy property. To change the colors in your image, choose one of the following options:

  • Automatic: Automatically changes a dark axes colors to light axes colors. If the axes color is a light color, this option does not invert the color.

  • Invert: Changes dark axes colors to light axes colors, and light axes colors to dark axes colors.

  • Don't invert: Does not change the colors in the image that appears on the screen for printing.

  • Use figure's InvertHardcopy setting: Uses the InvertHardcopy property set in the image.

  • Make figure background transparent: Makes the image background transparent.

Display Options

• Scaling: Controls size of the image, as displayed in a browser. Making an image larger using this option does not affect the storage size of the image, but the quality of the displayed image may decrease as you increase or decrease the size of the displayed image.

  Generally, to achieve the best and most predictable display results, use the default setting of Use image size.

  • Use image size: Causes the image to appear the same size in the report as on screen (default).

  • Fixed size: Specifies the number and type of units.

  • Zoom: Specifies the percentage, maximum size, and units of measure.

• Size: Specifies the size of the image in the format [width height]. This field is active only if you choose Fixed size in the Scaling list.

• Max size: Specifies the maximum size of the image in the format [width height]. This field is active only if you choose Zoom from the Scaling selection list.

• Units: Specifies the units for the size of the image. This field is active only if you choose Zoom or Fixed size in the Image size selection list.

• Alignment: Only reports in PDF or RTF format support this property.
