MATLAB: Creating a Loop with “SAVEAS” after generating Figures

afterfiguresloopMATLABsaveas

Hello u all!

I'm trying to use a for-loop to save my already generated pictures into different files, but I can't figure out how to index those figures:

for i = 1 : 10
    filepath = fullfile(source,sprintf('%s.png',figname{i,1})); %%figname is a cell with each figure's name
    saveas('??',filepath);%%figures going from f1 - f10
end

Is there a way of doing it or do I have to use SAVEAS after generating each fig?

As you generate each figure, store its handle into a vector of figure handles, such as fighandles(). Then index it in your loop.

for i = 1 : length(fighandles)
    filepath = fullfile(source,sprintf('%s.png',figname{i,1})); %%figname is a cell with each figure's name
    saveas(fighandles(i), filepath);     
end
