I have several graphs and uitables in my script. When I publish it, it opens new figure windows to plot graphs. I close them automatically when it's done, but I'd like to prevent creating the windows in the first place.
I've tried set(0,'DefaultFigureVisible','off'), set(gcf,'visible','off'), figure('visible', 'off');
All of them did not create figure windows but the graphs also didn't appear in my published pdf file.
Anyone know how to publish graphs without opening the figure window? Thank you.

As of R2024b, there is no publishing option to prevent figure windows from appearing while still capturing them in the report. However, you can create custom functions to force a particular figure to be included in your published document, then you can close the figure to prevent too many figures from cluttering your screen.
Hope this helps!
