exportgraphic crops the 10^N of scientific notation of the tickvalues

Hi all,

I am running at an annoying issue on the exportgraphic. Here is a simplified example.

X = 1:10;
Y = 10000*X;
plot(X,Y)

exportgraphics(gcf,'myfigure1.jpg','Resolution',300)

After exporting, the 10^N of scientific notation of the y-axis tickvalues is cropped. Can anyone give some advice?

Hey @Jue Gu,

This seems to be a bug in MATLAB R2024a. One possible workaround could be to use saveas function instead of exportgraphics.

saveas(gcf, 'myfigure1.jpg'); 

You can refer the following MathWorks documentation for more information on saveas function:

Hope this solves your issue.

Hi @Animesh

Thank you for your quick comment. I found that the saveas function can not set the resolution for the figure. It is not the preferable solution at the present. I hope this bug will be fix soon in the future update.

You can try print function if you want to set the resolution of the figure.

print(gcf,'myfigure1.png','-dpng','-r300');    %300dpi

Here, -r300 option sets the resolution of the figure to 300dpi.

Hi @Animesh, thank you very much. I will use print as an alternative before this bug get fixed.
