for graphs with lines and text, save as .emf or .png.

For 3D-graphics with transparencies pixel picture is required, such that getframe and imwrite are fine to create a file at first, e.g. as PNG.

For other graphics using print to export an EPS file is accurate. Although the display on the screen uses the rough TIFF preview only, which might look bad. But in an exported PDF file or when printing on paper the diagrams are very nice, because the vector format is inserted.
