Directly saving a figure handle inside a structure is not straightforward because the figure handle is a reference to a figure object, not the figure data itself.
Save the Figure to a File: First, save your figure to a .fig file using the savefig function. This step creates a file that contains all the data needed to recreate the figure.
Store the File Path in the Structure: Instead of storing the figure handle or the figure object itself in your structure, you store the path to the .fig file. This way, your structure will contain a reference to the figure which can be loaded later.
% Assume you have a figure
figure;
plot(rand(5));
title('Sample Figure');
% Save the figure to a file
figFileName = 'myFigure.fig';
savefig(figFileName);
% Now, create your structure and include the file name
s = struct('field1', value1, 'field2', value2, ..., 'figureFile', figFileName);
% You can later load the figure using openfig
% loadedFigure = openfig(s.figureFile);
- Replace 'field1', value1, 'field2', value2, etc., with your actual field names and values.
- The figure is saved as 'myFigure.fig' in the current directory. You can specify a different path if necessary.
- The path to the figure file is stored in the structure s under the field 'figureFile'.
