File Information
Description

PRINT2IM outputs a rasterized figure to an array or image file, with:  
   - Figure borders cropped  
   - Anti-aliased graphics  
 
PRINT2IM requires an optional target filename and/or target variable, and an optional figure handle - there are no other options to be set. The output image is exactly the size and layout of the figure on the screen.  
 
The image file type is determined by the extension of the filename. If there is no valid extension (".png", ".jpg", ".tif" or ".bmp") then the default extension, ".png", is added.  
 
PRINT2IM is especially useful for saving 3-d graphics to a high quality bitmap, for inclusion in a publication.
