How to add a save feature in GUI? I tried this, but doesn't work

function save_user_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

% hObject handle to save_user (see GCBO)

% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB

% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

saveas(gcf,'output.jpg');

Hi Kuhen Suresh,

It is my understanding that you want to add a save feature in GUI. Here are the steps to achieve the same:

1. Add a “uibutton” to the GUI
2. Add a “ButtonPushed” callback to it.
3. Use “exportgraphics” function to save it in any format.

Here is a sample code for the same:

function ButtonPushed(app, event)
    exportgraphics(app.UIAxes,'LinePlots.jpg')
end

You can refer to the following documentations to know more about the functions used:

• exportgraphics: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/exportgraphics.html
• uibutton: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uibutton.html
