How do I save a figure as a png to a different directory?

I need help saving my figure to a different directory than the one I'm running my code in. The directory I want to save it to is /Volumes/Expansion/dispersion.

This is what I have so far. I'm not sure how to incorporate the directory I want to save the figure to.

header = 'title of figure on plot';

print(gcf,header,'-dpng','-r300');

x = [1 2 3]
y = x.^2
plot(x,y)
exportgraphics(gcf,'/Volumes/Expansion/dispersion/myplot.jpg')

On my Windows 10 computer the slashes go the other way \Volumes\Expansion\...

Not sure if you are on another OS, or if you just made the slashes the other way. In anycase I guess MATAB doesn't really care which way they go.

I just typed them wrong

We're you able to get exportgraphics to save your figure as you wanted?

No, I'm using an older version of matlab. How can I do it in 2019b?

If you just want to use the print command as you have started, you just have to append the path to the filename so:

filename = 'myfile'
name = fullfile('Volumes','Expansion','dispersion',filename)
print(name,'-dpng','-r300')

In the above I also built the filename programatically in case you wanted to do that
