Create a PDF document from Matlab?

Hi guys,

With results calculated and plotted in matlab, I would love to generate a beautiful print-friendly PDF which pops open?

Is this a possibility?

Thanks!

publish('myscript.m','pdf');

For reference:

But that only publishes the script itself... right?

[Ahmet Cecen]

It will publish any figure or anything that prints to the command line as well.

Is there a way to remove the "Published by Matlab" at the end of the published document?

Thanks

[Ahmet Cecen]

None that I am aware of, other than using a pdf editor and removing it manually.

Is there a way I can edit the publish function itself?

[Walter Roberson]

If you are using Academic or Home or Student license, then Mathworks watermarks are mandatory. If you are using a Professional / Commercial license then there might be a way around it (not that I know what the way is.)

"using a pdf editor and removing it manually." <= perhaps if you're using Windows and a PDF editor smart enough to know ActiveX you could control it from MATLAB to "automatically" find a text string and change or delete it.

[A]

Is there not a way for me to manually edit or change the way the Publish function works? And just remove that bit where it adds that watermark?

Or is there any other way to create a customized PDF output of my figure with text and other things?

Thanks

Thanks

Here is another very round about and much harder way of doing it as you seem to be sincerly hating advertising for MATLAB.

1) Download and Install Jupyter notebook and Python.

2) Either install the Jupyter MATLAB connector or use the official MATLAB engine for Python.

3) Write your script in Jupyter, and then you can compile it as a PDF without the watermarks.

εημλζφδμωξ how can write in matlab

[Walter Roberson]

You can write that as

thisline = 'εημλζφδμωξ';

You can, for example,

text(0.5, 0.4, thisline, 'interpreter', 'none')

But if you need latex then you would have to use something like

thislinelatex = '$\varepsilon\eta\mu\lambda\zeta\varphi\delta\mu\omega\xi$';
text(0.5, 0.5, thislinelatex, 'interpreter', 'latex')
