saveas2.m v1.1 (Sep 2009)

Saves current figure matching its size with specific extension and resolution.

You are now following this Submission

This function is a modification of SAVE2PDF by Gabe Hoffmann.

It saves the current (or specified handle's) figure to the given filename (if not given, it displays a gui to introduce it). If the image extension is not valid or 'unknown' it also displays a menu with valid ones.

It's as easy as SAVEAS but with extra inputs (all optionals).

For example, to save the current figure to (defaults) PNG and 150x150 pixels use
>> saveas2('myfigure')
and that's it. Or to 300x300 pixels in JPG:
>> saveas2('myfigure.jpg',300)

Or as 'fig':
>> saveas2('myfigure.fig')

It accepts multiple inputs.

Enjoy it!
(Bugs reports ans suggestions will be very appreciated)
