Printing a Figure to a Printer or a File

You can print a figure using the menus, or from the command line. You can print it directly to a printer, or to a file for later printing.

Note    If you print a figure to a file, the file can only be printed and cannot be imported into another application. If you want to create a figure file that you can import into an application, see "Exporting a Figure in Graphics Format" on page 6-47.

This section introduces:

• The dialog boxes you use to print a figure
• The commands you use to print a figure from the command line or from a program

It also tells you how to:

• Change the settings that control the way a figure looks when you print it.
• Print the figure.
