I want to save the whole Window of GUI as a vector graphic like these
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/171262/image.png)
I tried to use
fig=openfig('test_gui.fig');
fig.InvertHardcopy = 'off';
set(fig,'PaperPositionMode','auto');
print(fig,'-dpdf','test_gui.pdf')
But only get the GUI-Frame without Figure in PDF

How can I get both of them as a vector graphic ?
Thanks in advance

This is happening because the handle 'fig' in your code is pointing only to GUI frame. Use the following code instead:
if true
fig= test_gui.fig;
fig.InvertHardcopy = 'off';
set(fig,'PaperPositionMode','auto');
print(fig,'-dpdf','test_gui.pdf')
end
I hope this helps.

my Gui file name is plotgraph.mlapp. It does not have .fig extension.!! What's the workaround here?
