Need help for saveas function for saving multiple figures

Hey guys,

Need some help with the saveas function. How can I save multiple figures that are being generated by a for loop? For example, this is what I have so far:

for k = 1:10
figure(k);
plot(foo)
saveas(k,'???')

How can I change my string at every iteration? I need the string to be descriptive with respect to the content of the figure.

 should be saveas not save

 saveas(gca,temp)

[Jessica Lam]

try that one again=)

hope it works

for k = 1:10 figure(k); plot(foo); temp=['fig',num2str(k),'.png']; saveas(gca,temp); end

yes! thank you :)

Answer 2

[Jessica Lam]

for k = 1:10 figure(k); plot(foo); temp=['fig',num2str(k),'.png']; save(gca,temp); end

hmmm, this is not working, it is telling me that the argument in save must be a string...

Use saveas in place of save

for k = 1:10 figure(k); plot(foo); temp=['fig',num2str(k),'.png']; saveas(gca,temp); end

The code worked for me and I think it should work for you too.
