How to PRINT a matlab PLOT or Simulink BLOCK DIAGRAM
The Matlab "print" command can be used either to print the current
plot to a printer or to save the plot to a file.
The Matlab command:
>> print -Pprintername
will send the current plot to the printer "printername". If you have
multiple plot windows, you can select the window to print with the
"-fhandle" or "-fwindow_title" option. For example, to print Figure
No. 2, you can use
>> print -f2
To print a Simulink block diagram, use the "-ssystem" option.
For example, to print the Simulink block diagram entitled "f14"
>> print -sf14
will print it to the default printer. The command
>> print -dps filename.ps
will save the current plot to the file "filename.ps". To save multiple
plots in one file, use the "-append" option. For example, the following
sequence shows how to save and print 3 plots in one file called
"example.ps":
>> plot(sin([0:25]*2*pi/25));
>> print -dps example.ps
>> plot(sin([0:25]*4*pi/25));
>> print -dps -append example.ps
>> plot(sin([0:25]*8*pi/25));
>> print -dps -append example.ps
Then to print example.ps to the printer ajax, use the lpr command at
the athena prompt:
athena% lpr -Pajax example.ps
The "print" command supports a number of output types including:
-dps - PostScript for black and white printers
-dpsc - PostScript for color printers
-deps - Encapsulated PostScript (EPSF)
-depsc - Encapsulated Color PostScript (EPSF)
Type "help print" at the Matlab prompt for more information on the
options available for the print command.
