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

When using the saveas function the resolution isn t as good as when manually saving the figure with File-- Save As     It s more recommended to use hgexport instead  as follows   hgexport gcf   figure1 jpg   hgexport  factorystyle     Format    jpeg      This will do exactly as manually saving the figure   source  http   www mathworks com support solutions en data 1-1PT49C index html product SL amp solution 1-1PT49C
