Version problem

Hi,

Briefly, Matlab R2008a contains the function "isfigure", but R2010a and R2011a versions don't contain that function. My question, is there some kind of "package" containing all those dismissed functions, or simply i have to copy and paste those functions?

Regards

Can you explain more on what you are trying to do? Are you trying to update code to a new version?

[Pablo]

I only want to run a code in other computer with a different matlab version

R2008b does not contain the function either.

The function, when it exists, is in \toolbox\matlab\graphics\@printjob\private\isfigure and is thus a private function for MATLAB internal use only; you should not have any calls to it. (It appears that some versions of saveas() used it.)

[Pablo]

Yes, saveas() requires that function.

What should i do?

[Walter Roberson]

Do not copy the code for saveas() or isfigure() over. The version of saveas() used on the new version will have been revised to not use isfigure() if that routine was dropped. Just call upon saveas().

If saveas() does not work in the newer version, then that is a bug or installation problem, and may hint that there are other problems; the problem should be fixed rather than trying to copy private toolboxes.

Checking my R2008b version, I see isfigure at

toolbox/matlab/general/private/isfigure.m

toolbox/matlab/graphics/private/isfigure.m

(they are the same)
