Creating a Loop with "SAVEAS" after generating Figures

Hello u all!

I'm trying to use a for-loop to save my already generated pictures into different files, but I can't figure out how to index those figures:

for i = 1 : 10
    filepath = fullfile(source,sprintf('%s.png',figname{i,1})); %%figname is a cell with each figure's name
    saveas('??',filepath);%%figures going from f1 - f10
end

Is there a way of doing it or do I have to use SAVEAS after generating each fig?

THX

As you generate each figure, store its handle into a vector of figure handles, such as fighandles(). Then index it in your loop.

for i = 1 : length(fighandles)
    filepath = fullfile(source,sprintf('%s.png',figname{i,1})); %%figname is a cell with each figure's name
    saveas(fighandles(i), filepath);     
end

like:

f1 = figure
%%whatever
fighandle(1) = f1
f2 = figure
%%whatever
fighandle(2) = f2

and so on...?

For example,

for i = 1 : 10
    fighandles(i) = figure();
    axhandles(i) = axes('Parent', fighandles(i));
end

plot(axhandles(7), 1:10, rand(1,10))
hold(axhandles(7), 'on')
bar(axhandles(7), 1:10, randi(9, 1, 10));
hold(axhandles(7), 'off')
title(axhandles(7), figname{i});
