Question

I want to include my figure in LaTeX document but have following problems.

1. Printing figure as EPS is not working. Figure is wrongly cropped. Please see figure below.

2. How to print multiple figures in a loop using handle?

My data:

str=[...
    '15.12.2012 11:27'
    '15.12.2012 11:12'
    '15.12.2012 10:57'
    '15.12.2012 10:42'
    '14.12.2012 10:27'
    '14.12.2012 10:12'
    '14.12.2012 09:57'
    '14.12.2012 09:42'
    '14.12.2012 09:27'
    '14.12.2012 09:12'
    '14.12.2012 08:57'
    '13.12.2012 08:42'
    '13.12.2012 08:27'
    '13.12.2012 08:12'
    '13.12.2012 07:57'
    '13.12.2012 07:42'
    '13.12.2012 07:27'
    '12.12.2012 07:12'
    '12.12.2012 06:57'
    '12.12.2012 06:42'
    '12.12.2012 06:27'
    '12.12.2012 06:12'
    '11.12.2012 05:57'
    '11.12.2012 05:42'
    '10.12.2012 05:27'
    '10.12.2012 05:12'
    '10.12.2012 04:57'];

dstr = cellstr(datestr(dn,'dd.mm.yyyy'));
set(ax, 'XTick',ind, 'XTickLabel',dstr(ind), 'Position',[0.1,0.15,0.8,0.75]);
ylim([-20 20]); 


% plot something...
print -deps epsFig

The LaTeX code:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth, angle=0]{epsFig.eps}
\caption{Insert caption}
\end{figure}

Answer 1

1. Try datetick. With ‘keepticks’, I find it works significantly better for date-time plots. Regardless, this is Matlab side, not Latex side.
2. I’ve started using export_fig with great success.

3. Create a figure with (not sure why the code section isn’t working)

   handle=figure;

   .. generate plot ..

   export_fig(handle, …. )
