export_fig
A MATLAB toolbox for exporting publication quality figures
...Exporting a figure from MATLAB the way you want it (hopefully the way it looks on screen), can be a real headache for the unitiated, thanks to all the settings that are required, and also due to some eccentricities (a.k.a. features and bugs) of functions such as print. The first goal of export_fig is to make transferring a plot from screen to document, just the way you expect (again, assuming that's as it appears on screen), a doddle. The second goal is to make the output media suitable for publication, allowing you to publish your results in the full glory that you originally intended.
