Use saveas   h figure  plot x y  -bs   Linewidth  1 4  Markersize  10         saveas h name  fig   saveas h name  jpg     This way  the figure is plotted  and automatically saved to   jpg  and   fig   You don t need to wait for the plot to appear and click  save as  in the menu  Way to go if you need to plot save a lot of figures   If you really do not want to let the plot appear  it has to be loaded anyway  can t avoid that  else there is also nothing to save   you can hide it   h figure  visible   off
