How to use safe_figure if graphic includes Latex symbol?

[litvinen]

I do
plot(x,y75,':g','LineWidth',2);
ylabel('$\ell$','Interpreter','latex');
save_figure(gcf, 'FileName', 'figdir', '.', 'fontsize', 16)

then if I open FileName.eps, I see something like $\ell$. So, Latex interpreter is switched off when I safe the figure into file.At the same time in Matlab Window latex symbols are displayed correct.

Probably I need to use something like
save_figure(gcf, 'FileName', 'figdir', '.', 'fontsize', 16, 'latex_param' ), but an example would be very helpful.
Thanks,

Ok, I have found,
In safe_figure.m it was
%set( h_text, 'interpreter', 'latex' );
set( h_text, 'interpreter', text_interpreter );
Now
set( h_text, 'interpreter', 'latex' );
%set( h_text, 'interpreter', text_interpreter );

Thanks,

Hi Alex, this figure producing stuff in matlab is just shitty and I've played around with it a lot. Same for the tex/latex support. You can set the interpreter to tex or latex and will do sometimes very different things, which are not at all clear nor documented. I've now completely dumped this approach and write out only data files from matlab and later use tikz/pgfplots in latex. It's also a bit complicated but way more stable and flexible (especially if you have data that you want to show in different ways). Elmar PS: you can look into my Fourier project for the tikz/pgfplots stuff.

Thanks a lot,
But I cant find tikz/pgfplots stuff. Is it a part of sglib ? sglib-testing? a separate project? where?

You just write out the data (which you can see in the .dat files which are located in the 'tikz' subdirectory in my project) using some of the standard matlab functions to write ascii data to a file. For example: x = linspace(0, 1); y = sin(x); T = table( {x, y}, 'VariableNames', {'x', 'y'} ); writetable(T, 'sin.dat'); Then you can use pgfplots in your tex files to plot it, like \usepackage{pgfplots} ... \begin{document} ... \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis} \pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{sin.dat}\data \addplot table[x=x,y=y] {\data}; \addlegendentry{Sine function}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} That's it. Of course you can build a lot of other stuff around that, like nicer formatting or making writing the data from matlab easier (which I've done, of course), but basically that's all there is to it.... And that's why currently I'm not developing the plotting functions from matlab/sglib any further... Elmar
