I'm trying to copy a plot to clipbard programmatically.
I have an old data plotting tool bult using guide. It has a cmd button to deploy the plots into a window where the plot is formatted perfectly to comply with our journel figure formatting rules. In that deployed window I can click Edit > Copy Figure to copy the figure to clipbard and maintain all the formatting; however, I want to do that programmatically.
According to the documentation, this should work:
print -clipboard -dbitmap
However, that copies the plotting tool gui, not the deployed figure window.
I also tried:
figure(handles.PlotOptions.DeployHandle)
print -clipboard -dbitmap
That didn't change anything. I cant work out how to set focus to the deployed figure window not the plot tool window.
I also tried:
copygraphics(handles.PlotOptions.DeployHandle,'ContentType','vector')
%and
copygraphics(handles.PlotOptions.DeployHandle)
This copied the correct figure window; however, it trimmed out all the borders.
I just want exactly what happens when you create a plot figure and click Edit > Copy Figure

What does that mean? Could you should us a screenshot? I use copygraphics all the time to do what you're describing.

You have to first copy the plot to an new invesible figure then copy that figure to the clipboard.

Try
editmenufcn(newFig,'EditCopyFigure');
or
hgexport(newFig,'-clipboard');
or
print(newFig,'-dmeta');
where newFig is the handle of the new invisible figure
