Why are my EPS figures not vectorised in LaTeX?

I'm exporting figures in MATLAB using

print -painters -depsc << FIGNAME >>.eps

And when I load the resulting eps into LaTeX, it creates a high-res image but it's not vectorised and I can't select the text in the plot...

print never tries to produced vectorized results.

Use exportgraphics with ContentType='vector' and a filename that ends in .eps

Note: embedded fonts will not be saved in the file unless you use .pdf . This can sometimes cause problems if you do font selection within latex expressions.
