Saving figure in app designer.

Hi, I want to save a figure in app designer called app.ScanDataPlot.

The code below saves the figure (but just the data, with x and y axes but with no titles). I also want to include the legend of the graph (for the different curves) and include the x and y axes titles. How can I do this?

The code does not save the figure as .png, just as .fig. Any ideas how to get the figure in .png format also?

 % Create a temporary figure with axes.
            figScan = figure;
            figAxes = axes(figScan);
            
            % Copy all UIAxes children, take over axes limits and aspect ratio.
            allChildren = app.ScanDataPlot.XAxis.Parent.Children;
            copyobj(allChildren, figAxes)
            figAxes.XLim = app.ScanDataPlot.XLim;
            figAxes.YLim = app.ScanDataPlot.YLim;
            figAxes.ZLim = app.ScanDataPlot.ZLim;
            figAxes.DataAspectRatio = app.ScanDataPlot.DataAspectRatio;
            
            % Save as png and fig files.
            fileName = fullfile([pathway,'\data','\fig-file\'], 'WorstLocation.fig');
            saveas(figScan, fileName, 'png');
            savefig(figScan, fileName);

You might want to take a look at this contribution:

Regarding the saving as png: I guess that it does not work because fileName already has the fig extension.

Could you give this a try:

fileName = fullfile([pathway,'\data','\fig-file\'], 'WorstLocation');

saveas(figScan, [fileName '.png'], 'png');

savefig(figScan, [fileName '.fig']);
