How could I save a figure without drawing it on the screen and it could be opened nomally?

[Tsai]

Using figure('Visible','off') one could save a figure without drawing
it on the screen.

But when I want to load the figure, it will still be invisible.

I have to use openfig('test.fig','visible') to display the figure.

Is there any way to save a figure without drawing it on the screen
AND this figure could be opened as normal figure without setting the
Visible on?

Create the figure with visible 'on' on a part of the screen that is not
visible. Of course, you would still have to reposition the figure before
saving or when re-opening.

Or create it behind another figure and save.

Just random thoughts.

A figure file is a file of type 'mat' with the extension 'fig'. You
can load it into workspace with

load -mat <figurefilename>.fig

You see all the handle graphic elements of the figure stored in a
structure. The hierarchy of the structure is like in the property
editor. I did not try, but probably you can look for 'Invisible' in
the structure, change it accordingly (or delete it, since 'Visible'
is default), and store the whole thing again.

Thanks a lot, Heinrich.

It works!

How wonderful that one can correct the properties of
fig-files by using load -mat <figurefilename>.fig !

Yes, there is a filed named 'Visible' in the structure which has the
value 'off'.

Thanks Jim also, creating a figure is refused for my work.
