Save figure by using MATLAB Command Window

Question

I want to generate a figure and save it by using the MATLAB Command Window, after open it by a shell command from VBA. The following error message is displayed when I try to open a figure:

In my MATLAB code I am using the following lines, to save the figure:

figure('Visible','off');
imagepath = 'myPath.jpg';
plot(1:100);
saveas(gcf,imagepath);
close(gcf);

Has anyone an idea or some experience with that kind of problem?

Thank you

Answer 1

The problem is you're saving something that's not your figure... gcf=figure('Visible','off'); should do the trick...
