<h4 class="subsection">15.1.6 Printing Plots</h4>
<p>The <code>print</code> command allows you to save plots in a variety of
formats. For example,
<pre class="example"> print -deps foo.eps
</pre>
<p class="noindent">writes the current figure to an encapsulated PostScript file called
<samp><span class="file">foo.eps</span></samp>.

<blockquote><p>Print a graph, or save it to a file
<p><var>filename</var> defines the file name of the output file. If no
filename is specified, the output is sent to the printer.
<p><var>h</var> specifies the figure handle. If no handle is specified
the handle for the current figure is used.
<p><var>options</var>:
<dl>
<dt><code>-P</code><var>printer</var><dd> Set the <var>printer</var> name to which the graph is sent if no
<var>filename</var> is specified.
<br><dt><code>-G</code><var>ghostscript_command</var><dd> Specify the command for calling Ghostscript. For Unix and Windows,
the defaults are 'gs' and 'gswin32c', respectively.
<br><dt><code>-color</code><dt><code>-mono</code><dd> Monochrome or color lines.
<br><dt><code>-solid</code><dt><code>-dashed</code><dd> Solid or dashed lines.
<br><dt><code>-portrait</code><dt><code>-landscape</code><dd> Specify the orientation of the plot for printed output.
<br><dt><code>-d</code><var>device</var><dd> Output device, where <var>device</var> is one of:
<dl>
<dt><code>ps</code><dt><code>ps2</code><dt><code>psc</code><dt><code>psc2</code><dd> Postscript (level 1 and 2, mono and color)
<br><dt><code>eps</code><dt><code>eps2</code><dt><code>epsc</code><dt><code>epsc2</code><dd> Encapsulated postscript (level 1 and 2, mono and color)
<br><dt><code>tex</code><dt><code>epslatex</code><dt><code>epslatexstandalone</code><dt><code>pstex</code><dt><code>pslatex</code><dd> Generate a LaTeX (or TeX) file for labels, and eps/ps for
graphics. The file produced by <code>epslatexstandalone</code> can be
processed directly by LaTeX. The other formats are intended to
be included in a LaTeX (or TeX) document. The <code>tex</code> device
is the same as the <code>epslatex</code> device.
<br><dt><code>ill</code><dt><code>aifm</code><dd> Adobe Illustrator
<br><dt><code>cdr</code><dt><code>corel</code><dd> CorelDraw
<br><dt><code>dxf</code><dd> AutoCAD
<br><dt><code>emf</code><dt><code>meta</code><dd> Microsoft Enhanced Metafile
<br><dt><code>fig</code><dd> XFig. If this format is selected the additional options
<code>-textspecial</code> or <code>-textnormal</code> can be used to control
whether the special flag should be set for the text in
the figure (default is <code>-textnormal</code>).
<br><dt><code>hpgl</code><dd> HP plotter language
<br><dt><code>mf</code><dd> Metafont
<br><dt><code>png</code><dd> Portable network graphics
<br><dt><code>jpg</code><dt><code>jpeg</code><dd> JPEG image
<br><dt><code>gif</code><dd> GIF image
<br><dt><code>pbm</code><dd> PBMplus
<br><dt><code>svg</code><dd> Scalable vector graphics
<br><dt><code>pdf</code><dd> Portable document format
</dl>
<p>If the device is omitted, it is inferred from the file extension,
or if there is no filename it is sent to the printer as postscript.
<br><dt><code>-d</code><var>gs_device</var><dd> Additional devices are supported by Ghostscript.
Some examples are;
<dl>
<dt><code>ljet2p</code><dd> HP LaserJet IIP
<br><dt><code>ljet3</code><dd> HP LaserJet III
<br><dt><code>deskjet</code><dd> HP DeskJet and DeskJet Plus
<br><dt><code>cdj550</code><dd> HP DeskJet 550C
<br><dt><code>paintjet</code><dd> HP PointJet
<br><dt><code>pcx24b</code><dd> 24-bit color PCX file format
<br><dt><code>ppm</code><dd> Portable Pixel Map file format
</dl>
<p>For a complete list, type `system ("gs -h")' to see what formats
and devices are available.
<p>When the ghostscript is sent to a printer the size is determined
by the figure's "papersize" property. When the ghostscript output
is sent to a file the size is determined by the figure's
"paperposition" property.
<dt><code>-r</code><var>NUM</var><dd> Resolution of bitmaps in pixels per inch. For both metafiles and
SVG the default is the screen resolution, for other it is 150 dpi.
To specify screen resolution, use "-r0".
<br><dt><code>-tight</code><dd> Forces a tight bounding box for eps-files. Since the ghostscript
devices are conversion of an eps-file, this option works the those
devices as well.
<dt><code>-S</code><var>xsize</var><code>,</code><var>ysize</var><dd> Plot size in pixels for EMF, GIF, JPEG, PBM, PNG and SVG. If
using the command form of the print function, you must quote the
<var>xsize</var>,<var>ysize</var> option. For example, by writing
<code>"-S640,480"</code><!-- /@w -->. The size defaults to that specified by the
figure's paperposition property.
<br><dt><code>-F</code><var>fontname</var><dt><code>-F</code><var>fontname</var><code>:</code><var>size</var><dt><code>-F:</code><var>size</var><dd><var>fontname</var> set the postscript font (for use with postscript,
aifm, corel and fig). By default, 'Helvetica' is set for PS/Aifm,
and 'SwitzerlandLight' for Corel. It can also be 'Times-Roman'.
<var>size</var> is given in points. <var>fontname</var> is ignored for the
fig device.
</dl>
<p>The filename and options can be given in any order.

<blockquote><p>Set the default print orientation. Valid values for
<var>orientation</var> include <code>"landscape"</code>, <code>"portrait"</code>,

<p>The <code>"tall"</code> option sets the orientation to portait and fills
the page with the plot, while leaving a 0.25in border.
<p>If called with no arguments, return the default print orientation.
