Need help for saveas function for saving multiple figures

9 views (last 30 days)
Hey guys,
Need some help with the saveas function. How can I save multiple figures that are being generated by a for loop? For example, this is what I have so far:
for k = 1:10
figure(k);
plot(foo)
saveas(k,'???')
How can I change my string at every iteration? I need the string to be descriptive with respect to the content of the figure.

Use saveas in place of save
for k = 1:10 figure(k); plot(foo); temp=['fig',num2str(k),'.png']; saveas(gca,temp); end
The code worked for me and I think it should work for you too.
