EPS looks pixelated when exporting figure
Show older comments
I'm trying to export an eps from matlab but it keeps appearing pixelated on the resulting PDF. I'm using:
print -despc my plot.eps
The result in my latex document looks like:

Is there anyway to stop this? As when I load it in the figure window it renders properly and not pixelated.

Do you use the OpenGL renderer in Matlab? If so, try Painters:
set(gcf, 'Renderer', 'Painters');
This is required to get vector graphics in the EPS exort.
If this does not work, export a PNG: Even with pixels the output is clean.
