exportgraphics too many input arguments

I tried to export a plot using

>> exportgraphics(gca,'test.eps') 

And I get the error message:

Error using exportgraphics
Too many input arguments.

Same problem if I try to use saveas

f=figure
saveas(f,'test','pdf')

I get:

Error using printopt
Too many input arguments.
Error in matlab.graphics.internal.mlprintjob
Error in printjob (line 22)
pj = matlab.graphics.internal.mlprintjob;
Error in saveas (line 159)
[ops,dev,ext] = printtables(printjob(h)); %#ok

Try

clear functions
rehash

and try again.

That will keep variables and the figure but cause MATLAB to refresh function and file system caches which oftentime will fix a broken/inadvertently aliased internal function.

If that fails save your workspace and restart MATLAB and then try again.

If that fails, it's time to call official TMW support.

Getting the same error while trying to save figures both manually and with code (savefig()). Couldn't resolve it by following the instructions above, so filed a bug report. Anyone solved this?

@Pierre could you attach the figure you're trying to export and let us know what MATLAB release you're using?

I have the same problems when I try to save a figure (in .fig format) both manually and with code (either using saveas and savefig).

In al cases I get the error: "error using saveas too many input arguments"

No errors appear when I save the figure in anyother format (pdf,jpg,eps,..).

I found the same error using R2022b, R2021a running in different computers. I did not notice this error en older versions.

Has anyone solved this?

any idea how to deal with it?

Thank you

Hi Adam,

I filed a bug report for this. It's any figure, even an empty one. I'm using R2022b.

Thanks
