% This function saves a figure or single axes to one or more vector and/or
% bitmap file formats, and/or outputs a rasterized version to the workspace,
% with the following properties:
%   - Figure/axes reproduced as it appears on screen
%   - Cropped borders (optional)
%   - Embedded fonts (vector formats)
%   - Improved line and grid line styles
%   - Anti-aliased graphics (bitmap formats)
%   - Render images at native resolution (optional for bitmap formats)
%   - Transparent background supported (pdf, eps, png, tif)
%   - Semi-transparent patch objects supported (png, tif)
%   - RGB, CMYK or grayscale output (CMYK only with pdf, eps, tif)
%   - Variable image compression, including lossless (pdf, eps, jpg)
%   - Optional rounded line-caps (pdf, eps)
%   - Optionally append to file (pdf, tif)
%   - Vector formats: pdf, eps, svg
%   - Bitmap formats: png, tif, jpg, bmp, export to workspace
%
% This function is especially suited to exporting figures for use in
% publications and presentations, because of the high quality and
% portability of media produced.
%
% Note that the background color and figure dimensions are reproduced
% (the latter approximately, and ignoring cropping & magnification) in the
% output file. For transparent background (and semi-transparent patch
% objects), use the -transparent option or set the figure 'Color' property
% to 'none'. To make axes transparent set the axes 'Color' property to
% 'none'. PDF, EPS, TIF & PNG are the only formats that support a transparent
% background; only TIF & PNG formats support transparency of patch objects.
%
% The choice of renderer (opengl/zbuffer/painters) has a large impact on the
% output quality. The default value (opengl for bitmaps, painters for vector
% formats) generally gives good results, but if you aren't satisfied
% then try another renderer.  Notes:
%   1) For vector formats (EPS,PDF), only painters generates vector graphics
%   2) For bitmap formats, only opengl correctly renders transparent patches
%   3) For bitmap formats, only painters correctly scales line dash and dot
%      lengths when magnifying or anti-aliasing
%   4) Fonts may be substitued with Courier when using painters
%
% When exporting to vector format (PDF & EPS) and bitmap format using the
% painters renderer, this function requires that ghostscript is installed
% on your system. You can download this from:
%   http://www.ghostscript.com
% When exporting to EPS it additionally requires pdftops, from the Xpdf
% suite of functions. You can download this from: http://xpdfreader.com
%
% SVG output uses the fig2svg (https://github.com/kupiqu/fig2svg) or plot2svg
% (https://github.com/jschwizer99/plot2svg) utilities, or Matlab's built-in
% SVG export if neither of these utilities are available on Matlab's path.
% Note: cropping/padding are not supported in export_fig's SVG output.
%
% Inputs:
%   filename - string containing the name (optionally including full or
%             relative path) of the file the figure is to be saved as. If
%             a path is not specified, the figure is saved in the current
%             directory. If no name and no output arguments are specified,
%             the default name, 'export_fig_out', is used. If neither a
%             file extension nor a format are specified, a ".png" is added
%             and the figure saved in that format.
%   -<format> - string(s) containing the output file extension(s). Options:
%             '-pdf', '-eps', '-svg', '-png', '-tif', '-jpg' and '-bmp'.
%             Multiple formats can be specified, without restriction.
%             For example: export_fig('-jpg', '-pdf', '-png', ...)
%             Either '-tif','-tiff' can be specified, and either '-jpg','-jpeg'.
%   -nocrop - option indicating that empty margins should not be cropped.
%   -c[<val>,<val>,<val>,<val>] - option indicating crop amounts. Must be
%             a 4-element vector of numeric values: [top,right,bottom,left]
%             where NaN/Inf indicate auto-cropping, 0 means no cropping,
%             and any other value mean cropping in pixel amounts.
%   -transparent - option indicating that the figure background is to be made
%             transparent (PNG,PDF,TIF,EPS formats only). Implies -noinvert.
%   -m<val> - option where val indicates the factor to magnify the
%             on-screen figure pixel dimensions by when generating bitmap
%             outputs (does not affect vector formats). Default: '-m1'.
%   -r<val> - option val indicates the resolution (in pixels per inch) to
%             export bitmap and vector outputs at, keeping the dimensions
%             of the on-screen figure. Default: '-r864' (for vector output
%             only). Note that the -m option overides the -r option for
%             bitmap outputs only.
%   -native - option indicating that the output resolution (when outputting
%             a bitmap format) should be such that the vertical resolution
%             of the first suitable image found in the figure is at the
%             native resolution of that image. To specify a particular
%             image to use, give it the tag 'export_fig_native'. Notes:
%             This overrides any value set with the -m and -r options. It
%             also assumes that the image is displayed front-to-parallel
%             with the screen. The output resolution is approximate and
%             should not be relied upon. Anti-aliasing can have adverse
%             effects on image quality (disable with the -a1 option).
%   -a1, -a2, -a3, -a4 - option indicating the amount of anti-aliasing to use
%             for bitmap outputs. '-a1' means no anti-aliasing; '-a4' is the
%             maximum amount (default: 3 for painters/HG1, 1 for openGL on HG2).
%   -<renderer> - option to force a particular renderer (painters, opengl or
%             zbuffer). Default value: opengl for bitmap formats or
%             figures with patches and/or transparent annotations;
%             painters for vector formats without patches/transparencies.
%   -<colorspace> - option indicating which colorspace color figures should
%             be saved in: RGB (default), CMYK or gray. Usage example: '-gray'.
%             Note: CMYK is only supported in PDF, EPS and TIF formats.
%   -q<val> - option to vary bitmap image quality (PDF, EPS, JPG formats only).
%             A larger val, in the range 0-100, produces higher quality and
%             lower compression. val > 100 results in lossless compression.
%             Default: '-q95' for JPG, ghostscript prepress default for PDF,EPS.
%             Note: lossless compression can sometimes give a smaller file size
%             than the default lossy compression, depending on the image type.
%   -p<val> - option to pad a border of width val to exported files, where
%             val is either a relative size with respect to cropped image
%             size (i.e. p=0.01 adds a 1% border). For EPS & PDF formats,
%             val can also be integer in units of 1/72" points (abs(val)>1).
%             val can be positive (padding) or negative (extra cropping).
%             If used, the -nocrop flag will be ignored, i.e. the image will
%             always be cropped and then padded. Default: 0 (i.e. no padding).
%   -append - option indicating that if the file already exists the figure is to
%             be appended as a new page, instead of being overwritten (default).
%             PDF & TIF output formats only.
%   -bookmark - option to indicate that a bookmark with the name of the
%             figure is to be created in the output file (PDF format only).
%   -clipboard - option to save output as an image on the system clipboard.
%             Note: background transparency is not preserved in clipboard
%   -d<gs_option> - option to indicate a ghostscript setting. For example,
%             -dMaxBitmap=0 or -dNoOutputFonts (Ghostscript 9.15+).
%   -depsc -  option to use EPS level-3 rather than the default level-2 print
%             device. This solves some bugs with Matlab's default -depsc2 device
%             such as discolored subplot lines on images (vector formats only).
%   -update - option to download and install the latest version of export_fig
%   -nofontswap - option to avoid font swapping. Font swapping is automatically
%             done in vector formats (only): 11 standard Matlab fonts are
%             replaced by the original figure fonts. This option prevents this.
%   -font_space <char> - option to set a spacer character for font-names that
%             contain spaces, used by EPS/PDF. Default: ''
%   -linecaps - option to create rounded line-caps (vector formats only).
%   -noinvert - option to avoid setting figure's InvertHardcopy property to
%             'off' during output (this solves some problems of empty outputs).
%   -preserve_size - option to preserve the figure's PaperSize property in output
%             file (PDF/EPS formats only; default is to not preserve it).
%   -options <optionsStruct> - format-specific parameters as defined in Matlab's
%             documentation of the imwrite function, contained in a struct under
%             the format name. For example to specify the JPG Comment parameter,
%             pass a struct such as this: options.JPG.Comment='abc'. Similarly,
%             options.PNG.BitDepth=4. Valid only for PNG,TIF,JPG output formats.
%   handle -  The handle of the figure, axes or uipanels (can be an array of
%             handles, but the objects must be in the same figure) which is
%             to be saved. Default: gcf (handle of current figure).
%
% Outputs:
%   imageData - MxNxC uint8 image array of the exported image.
%   alpha     - MxN single array of alphamatte values in the range [0,1],
%               for the case when the background is transparent.
