How can convert two (file.fig) to (file.jpg) in the same time?

Hello All,

I would like to convert (file.fig) to (file.jpg) in the same time (each file contents 5 plots) to reduce the time. I used this code to convert one file.fig:

figs = openfig('Fall_ABS.fig');
for K = 1 : length(figs)
   filename = sprintf('figure_%02d.jpg', K);
   saveas(figs(K), filename);
end
close all

How can I update this code to convert two files.

Thanks in advance,

Riyadh

put all figures to translate to .jpg in a same folder

put all .fig in same folder

cd 'folder_figures'

get in the folder

system('dir /o:n /b > list.txt')

build list

fid=fopen('list.txt')         
s1=textscan(fid,'%s')
fclose(fid)

measure how many figures

[sz1 sz2]=size(s1{1})

load all figures in workspace

h0=[];
for k=1:1:sz1                                            
    if regexp(cell2mat(s1{1}(k)),'.fig') 
        s=openfig(cell2mat(s1{1}(k))); 
        h0=[h0 s]; 
    end; 
end;

save figures in same file

savefig(h0,'all_figures.fig')

Riyahd, do the figure handles have to be in separate variables, or is it ok that all such handles are in a 1x10 vector of handles?

have you received the files I sent you?

Using system('dir /o:n /b > list.txt') instead of Matlab's dir command is much slower and prone to errors. The current folder is polluted by a "list.txt" file and if several codes run simultaneously (e.g. in timer oder GUI callbacks) theses files can interfere.

folder = cd;  % Set accordingly
figs   = dir(fullfile(folder, '*.fig'));
for K = 1:length(figs)
  FigH = openfig(fullfile(folder, figs(K).name));
  filename = fullfile(folder, sprintf('figure_%02d.jpg', K));
  saveas(FigH, filename);
  close(FigH);
end

Thank you for your answer, What does first step mean?

[Jan]

Do you mean "folder = cd"? This means that the variable "folder" should be set to the folder your images are stored in. Using absolute paths is safer than relying on the current folder.
