exporting figures as vector graphics without white spacing

Hello

I am

(1) trying to reduce the amount of white space around my figure when it is saved in matlab

(2) I am trying to export it as vector graphics

My code , generalized to a simple example, is as follows:

figure(figureNum);figureNum=figureNum+1;

x=1;

m=[1,2];

bar(x,m); hold on %mean on the y-axis

set(gca,'fontsize',fontSize);

I tried

exportgraphics(gca,'myplot.png','Resolution',300) and it did not work.

x=1;
m=[1,2];
bar(x,m); 

exportgraphics(gcf,'myplot.png','Resolution',300)
