function [A, bcol] = print2array(fig, res, renderer, gs_options) %PRINT2ARRAY Exports a figure to an image array % % Examples: % A = print2array % A = print2array(figure_handle) % A = print2array(figure_handle, resolution) % A = print2array(figure_handle, resolution, renderer) % A = print2array(figure_handle, resolution, renderer, gs_options) % [A bcol] = print2array(...) % % This function outputs a bitmap image of the given figure, at the desired % resolution. % % If renderer is '-painters' then ghostcript needs to be installed. This % can be downloaded from: http://www.ghostscript.com % % IN: % figure_handle - The handle of the figure to be exported. Default: gcf. % resolution - Resolution of the output, as a factor of screen % resolution. Default: 1. % renderer - string containing the renderer paramater to be passed to % print. Default: '-opengl'. % gs_options - optional ghostscript options (e.g.: '-dNoOutputFonts'). If % multiple options are needed, enclose in call array: {'-a','-b'} % % OUT: % A - MxNx3 uint8 image of the figure. % bcol - 1x3 uint8 vector of the background color % Copyright (C) Oliver Woodford 2008-2014, Yair Altman 2015- %{ % 05/09/11: Set EraseModes to normal when using opengl or zbuffer % renderers.
