Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to capture and print the complete work screen of MATLAB, including control bars and the workfield. It addresses practical methods for taking screenshots and printing them, with a focus on user experiences and solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about methods to print the complete MATLAB work screen, including all interface elements.
  • Another participant suggests using the "print" button on the keyboard and pasting the screenshot into Paint, noting that this method may vary depending on the operating system.
  • A third post provides a link to a resource on taking screenshots in Windows.
  • A later reply expresses gratitude for the suggestions and shares a personal experience regarding difficulty in locating the print key on a new portable computer, ultimately reporting success in capturing the screen.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants share various methods for capturing the MATLAB screen, but there is no consensus on a single best approach, and some uncertainty remains regarding the effectiveness of these methods across different operating systems.

Contextual Notes

I want to print the complete work screen of Matlab, I mean, with the control bars and the workfield. You can see this kind of printing in manuals and so. It is like capturing the screen (including the window upper bar) and printing.

But anybody here knows how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Hit the "print" button on your keyboard, go to paint and press Ctrl-V.

EDIT: For clearification: That´s how you do a screenshot in Windows. If your Matlab runs in fullscreen or on another OS that probably won´t help you.

Thanks to both of you.

I have a new portable computer, and I wasn't seeing the print key well, because there is no drawing on it. In fact, it can be read "PrtSc" on it. After trying all the keys I have had success. Thanks :smile: .
