How can I get .EPS output using yyaxis and for function?

Hi, I am encountering an issue regarding taking extracting out the figure after using yyaxis. Although, I am able to extract the figure in .pdf format, this puts the whole page when putting in latex. I can use trim function in latex, but that would not be economical. I tried different ways of extracting output in the form of eps, but none works.

cd 'D:\Matlab\Article\Graphs'
for i=1:20
          yyaxis right
          plot(dates,prices(:,i));
          ylabel('Price','interpreter','latex', 'FontSize',10, 'FontName','Times')
          yyaxis left
          plot(dates,returns(:,i));
          ylabel('Return', 'interpreter','latex', 'FontSize',10, 'FontName','Times')
          set(gca, 'FontName', 'Times')
          print(sprintf('tsline_%d.pdf', i), '-dpdf', '-bestfit');
end

I used the above given function to extract .pdf.

I am using on one y-axis the price series and the return series on the other and the x-axis constitutes of dates. I have twenty columns for each series and number of observations are 7825. To extract in eps, I used the following function:

cd 'D:\Matlab\Article\Graphs'
for i=1:20
  yyaxis right
          plot(dates,prices(:,i));
          ylabel('Price','FontSize',8)
          yyaxis left
          plot(dates,returns(:,i));
          ylabel('Return', 'FontSize',8)
  saveas(gcf,strcat('figure',num2str(i),'.eps'));
  i = i+1;
end

However, this gives me just the firs graph output and then stops and returns error of insufficient java memory and error in saveas (line 168). print(h, name, ['-d' dev{i}] ). I changed the saveas to print as well, but the problem persists.

I would really appreciate any sort of help.

Many Thanks. :)

Hi Walter,

My code has started working after I changed the memory preferences, however, it is taking way too long time to process. Is there any other option to extract the graphical output in eps that takes less time in less time? Thanks

Sorry, I do not know of faster methods -- at least not if you want vector output.

Thanks Walter! I have used the previous command plotyy, and that is way faster.
