xsave

Arguments

file_name

string, name of the file.

win_num

integer: the graphics window number. If not given, the current graphics window is considered.

win_handle

handle of the figure to save. By default, gcf() is used.

Description

xsave saves the graphics contained in the graphics window win_num in the binary file file_name, and can be reloaded with xload.

xsave(file_name, win_num) and xsave(file_name, win_handle) are just shortcuts respectively for h=findobj("figure_id", win_num); save(file_name, "h") and save(file_name, "win_handle"), that can be used directly.

Examples

t = 0:0.01:10;
subplot(211), plot2d(t,sin(t))
subplot(212), plot2d(t,sin(3*t))
xsave(TMPDIR + "/foo.scg", gcf())
clf()
xload(TMPDIR + "/foo.scg")

a = gca();
curve = a.children.children; // handle on the curve
save(TMPDIR + "/foo.scg", "curve")
delete(curve)
load(TMPDIR + "/foo.scg")
