  • Capture figure from screen: Captures the figure for the generated report directly from the screen. Options include:

    • Client area only: Captures part of the figure.

    • Entire figure window: Captures the entire figure window.

Print Options

  • Paper orientation:

    • Landscape

    • Portrait

    • Rotated

    • Use figure orientation: Uses the orientation for the figure, which you set with the orient command.

    • Full page image (PDF only): In PDF reports, scales images to fit the full page, minimizes page margins, and maximizes the size of the image by using either a portrait or landscape orientation.

    For more information about paper orientation, see the orient command in the MATLAB documentation.

  • Image size:

    • Use figure PaperPositionMode setting: Sets the image size in the report to the PaperPositionMode property of the figure. For more information about paper position mode, see orient.

    • Automatic (same size as onscreen): Sets the image in the report to the same size as it appears on the screen.

    • Custom: Specifies a custom image size. Specify the image size in the Size field and Units list.

  • Size: Specifies the size of the figure snapshot in the format [w h] (width, height). This field is active only if you choose Custom in the Image size selection list.

  • Units: Specifies the units for the size of the figure snapshot. This field is active only if you choose Set image size in the Custom selection list.

  • Invert hardcopy: Sets the InvertHardcopy property of Handle Graphics figures. This property inverts colors for printing; that is, it changes dark colors to light colors and vice versa. Options include:

    • Automatic: Automatically changes dark axes colors to light axes colors. If the axes color is a light color, it is not inverted.

    • Invert: Changes dark axes colors to light axes colors and vice versa.

    • Don't invert: Does not change the colors in the image displayed on the screen for printing.

    • Use figure's InvertHardcopy setting: Uses the InvertHardcopy property set in the Handle Graphics image.

    • Make figure background transparent: Makes the image background transparent.

Display Options

  • Scaling: Controls size of the image, as displayed in a browser. Making an image larger using this option does not affect the storage size of the image, but the quality of the displayed image may decrease as you increase or decrease the size of the displayed image.

    Generally, to achieve the best and most predictable display results, use the default setting of Use image size.

    • Use image size: Causes the image to appear the same size in the report as on screen (default).

    • Fixed size: Specifies the number and type of units.

    • Zoom: Specifies the percentage, maximum size, and units of measure.

  • Size: Specifies the size of the snapshot in the format w h (width, height). This field is active only if you choose Fixed size in the Scaling list.

  • Max size: Specifies the maximum size of the snapshot in the format w h (width, height). This field is active only if you choose Zoom from the Scaling list.

  • Units: Specifies the units for the size of the snapshot. This field is active only if you choose Zoom or Fixed size in the Image size selection list.

  • Alignment: Only reports in PDF or RTF format support this property. Options are:

    • Auto

    • Right

    • Left

    • Center

  • Title: Specifies text to appear above the snapshot.

  • Caption: Specifies text to appear under the snapshot.
