Problem with publish and plots

I am trying to publish my code to a pdf (publish('file','pdf'), but when i run my script it gets caught in an infinite loop creating the plots repeatedly. The code works fine without the publish function at the end, only when I try to use it does it give me problems.

Use this format in the command window.

options.format = 'pdf';

options.showCode = true; % if you want to hide the code write "false"

publish('file_name',options);

If your code looks like the following then you are recursively invoking your script (you call your script, which calls the publish command, which calls your script, which calls publish, ...)

% myscript.m
% create a plot
bar(magic(4));
% publish it
publish('foo.m', 'pdf')

Instead, remove the call to publish from your script:

% myscript.m
% create a plot
bar(magic(4));

... and place the call to publish in a separate script or call it from the MATLAB command window:

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