print command prints wrong figure

Hello together,

i've got a problem with the following command line:

 set(fig1,'PaperPositionMode','auto') 
 print([handles.folder_name,'\',dat_name],'-dpng','-r300')

it's included in a bushbutton callback function in a GUI

Instead of saving the right figure i get a picture of the GUI itself

Does anyone have an idea?

The GUI IS the figure. Did you perhaps mean an axes control ON the figure? then use export_fig

Maybe i was inaccurate...

I've got a GUI with a few pushbuttons. One of them creates a new figure with a Plot which i want so safe as a *.png file. But instead of saving the plot i get a picture of the GUI.
