Save Figure with Specific Size, Resolution, or Background Color
- A resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch) is the same as a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. It is a common printing resolution, since it is optimised for the human eye can be seen on a printed page. For example, there isn't much difference between 500 dpi or 600 dpi, whereas a resolution of around 300 will be noticeably different from 500 dpi.
- A group of House Democrats is plotting a resolution for next year that would attempt to keep criminal illegal aliens in the United States rather than their being deported, along with a series of other proposals to obstruct federal immigration officials’ ability to arrest and detain illegal aliens. Representatives Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Judy Chu (D-CA), Jesus Garcia (D-IL), and Veronica Escobar (D-TX) have compiled a resolution that.

To save plots for including in documents, such as publications or slide presentations, use the exportgraphics function. This function enables you to save plots at the appropriate size, resolution, and background color for your document. The saved content is tightly cropped around the axes with minimal white space. All UI components and adjacent containers such as panels are excluded from the saved content.
Specify Resolution
To save a figure as an image at a specific resolution, call the exportgraphics function, and specify the 'Resolution' name-value pair argument. By default, images are saved at 150 dots per inch (DPI).
For example, create a bar chart and get the current figure. Then save the figure as a 300-DPI PNG file.
Alternatively, you can specify the axes instead of the figure as the first argument to the exportgraphics function.
Specify Size
The exportgraphics function captures content at the same width and height as it is displayed on your screen. If you want to change the width and height, then adjust the size of the content displayed in the figure. One way to do this is to create the plot in a tiled chart layout at the desired size without any padding. Then pass the layout to the exportgraphics function.
For example, to save a bar chart as a 3-by-3 inch square image, start by creating a 1-by-1 tiled chart layout t, and set the 'Padding' name-value pair argument to 'none'.
Set the Units property of t to inches. Then set the OuterPosition property of t to [0.25 0.25 3 3]. The first two numbers in the vector position the layout at 0.25 inches from the left and bottom edges of the figure. The last two numbers set the width and height of the layout to 3 inches.
Next, create an axes object by calling the nexttile function. Then create a bar chart in the axes.
Save the layout as a 300-DPI JPEG file by passing t to the exportgraphics function. The resulting image is approximately 3 inches square.
An alternative way to change the size is to save the content as a vector graphics file. Then you can resize the content in your document. To save the content as a vector graphics file, call the exportgraphics function and set the 'ContentType' name-value pair argument to 'vector'. For example, create a bar chart, and save the figure as a PDF file containing vector graphics. All embeddable fonts are included in the PDF.
Specify Background Color
By default, the exportgraphics function saves content with a white background. You can specify a different background by setting the BackgroundColor name-value pair argument. These are the possible values:
'current'— Uses the color of the axes parent container (such as a figure or a panel).'none'— Sets the background color to transparent or white, depending on the file format and the value ofContentType:Transparent — For files with
ContentType='vector'White — For image files, or when
ContentType='image'
A custom color, specified as an RGB triplet such as
[1 0 0], a hexadecimal color code such as#FF0000, or a named color such as'red'.
For example, create a bar chart, and save the figure as a PDF file with a transparent background.
Preserve Axis Limits and Tick Values
Occasionally, the exportgraphics function saves your content with different axis limits or tick values depending on the size of the font and the resolution of the file. To keep the axis limits and tick values from changing, set the tick value mode and limit mode properties on the axes to 'manual'. For example, when plotting into Cartesian axes, set the tick value and limit mode properties for the x-, y-, and z-axis.
For polar plots, set the RTickMode, ThetaTickMode, RLimMode, and ThetaLimMode properties on the polar axes to 'manual'.

What Is A Plot Diagram?
A plot diagram is a graphical representation of the plot of the story. A story plot diagram is a line graph of story's events, beginning with the story’s start on the left and continuing toward the right, ending with the story’s conclusion.
[insert drawing of plot diagram based entirely on the one from the existing piece; there’s nothing wrong with it]
Whether writing creatively or analyzing another author’s writing, you can study the plot structure and storyline using a plot diagram.
- Elements of Plot
Elements Of Plot
The plot of a story is the unfolding sequence of events. Just about every story has the same parts of the plot. The six parts of a story are:
- Exposition
- Conflict
- Rising action
- Climax
- Falling action
- Resolution
These six elements break down into three chronological segments. Each segment of the story usually has two elements.
- Beginning – contains the exposition and establishes the story’s conflict.
- Middle – contains the rising action and the story’s climax.
- Conclusion – contains the falling action and resolution.
A Plots Resolution Image
Exposition
Exposition in a plot introduces of the story’s setting, mood, the main character, supporting characters, and time. Character development happens during this part of the story.
Conflict
Conflict is the problem, crisis, challenge, dilemma, or obstacle presented to the main character.
Rising Action
The rising action is a sequence of solutions to the conflict that the main character tries; it is all the events leading to the turning point of the story. It can be identified by increasing tension, emotion, difficulty, or challenge.
Climax
The climax of the story is the peak of excitement, the moment when the story changes (a turning point), the main character, and the problem is resolved.
Falling Action
The Falling action is all the plot points wrapping up, the consequences of the climax, and reflection on the changes in the main character. It can be identified by decreasing tension, an approaching resolution, and relaxation of emotion.
Resolution Of A Story
The resolution is the plot’s end, whether that resolution is a happy ending or sad ending, fun or frightening, satisfying or unsatisfying. The resolution might tie up loose ends or leave important elements of the story unresolved.
Plot Diagram Example
We can take the simplest of tales, such as Little Miss Muffet, to practice constructing a plot diagram. Here is the original nursery rhyme:
Little Miss MuffetSat on a tuffet,Eating her curds and whey;Along came a spiderWho sat down beside herAnd frightened Miss Muffet away.
What is the story’s beginning? Who is the main character? What is the setting? At the story’s beginning, we are introduced to Miss Muffet, who is sitting on a tuffet (a hassock), eating cottage cheese.
In the rising action, what conflict does our main character face? She must deal with the arrival of a spider. The climax of the story is how our main character solves her problem. Miss Muffet’s solution to her conflict is to run away. The conclusion of the story is abrupt; Miss Muffet left.
Little Miss Muffet is, admittedly, not a complicated or very interesting story. Yet we can diagram its plot:
With this short story, we see that our graph looks like a triangle. The story plot makes a pyramid shape with an even amount of story on either side of the climax.
For pieces more complicated than a simple nursery rhyme, the story’s divisions may not be equal. The rising action may consume much of the story, moving very slowly toward a climax in the story’s middle. The middle part may take up more of the total story; the ending may be very brief. This means the plot diagram is no longer symmetrical.
From Shakespeare to Sci-Fi, just about every work of fiction can be worked out on a plot diagram. Using a plot diagram helps you sort out and identify the plot’s elements, whether you are studying an existing work or writing your own creative fiction.
A plot diagram provides the bare bones of a story. The author’s skill and artistry are in adding depth, detail, supporting characters, and many events up to and after the climax to hold the reader’s attention.
