Is there an easy way of making publishing quality figures in MATLAB? I use MATLAB for calculations and working plots, but to get a nice figure (I mean proper fonts, scales, some text, symbols, lines for different datasets) takes me so long time that I better use something like ORIGIN program for this. I guess there should be some templates...

When I discovered that Matlab plots support LaTeX, my plots all suddenly were a bit nicer.

/theta_{k}^{2}

Here are a few functions that might help. Type "help <function name>" at the command line for more info

hold
xlabel
ylabel
title
legend

You can get much more by using >> plottools

Thanks, good to know.

Yes, this I use, but to make the figure nice I need quite some time...
