Getframe is cropping my figure
Benoît
When I try to use getframe to create a movie, the figure displays correctly, but then the movie command displays two axes from 0 to 1 to the bottom and the left of the window, and as a consequence my actual graphic is cropped (e.g., you can no longer see the title of my graphic in the movie). Please see the code below.
I have two questions that are most probably related:
- How do I make the two axes disappear?
- How do I avoid having my figure cropped?
Thank you very much in advance!

maturity = 1/12:1/12:20;
hor = 0:1/12:30;
winsize = [0 0 640 480];
numframes = numel(hor);
fig1 = figure('Position',winsize);
Video = moviein(numframes,fig1,winsize);
set(fig1,'NextPlot','replace');
grex = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
for k=1:numel(hor)
hold on
grex2 = grex + k*0.01;
fig1 = area(grex2,0);
xlabel('Maturity');
ylabel('Interest Rate');
year = floor(hor(k));
month = round((hor(k)-year)*12);
title(sprintf('Yield curve -- Year %d , Month %d',year,month));
Video(:,k) = getframe(gcf,winsize);
clf('reset');
hold off
end
movie(Video,3,12)

This is a newsgroup.
1. It will take a whil until your posts appear. I've seen times between 1 and 15 minutes.
2. You cannot close a post.
> - How do I get rid of the two [0 1] axes?
Use the debugger to go line by line through your code to find out, where the AXES are created. Then modify this line.
> Video = moviein(numframes,fig1,winsize);
See "help moviein": No longer needed since Matlab 5.3. So I assume your code is older?!
> set(fig1,'NextPlot','replace');
Why replacing? It is more efficient to create one AXES object with "NextPlot" set to "add", and then update the objects in this AXES afterwards. Then there is no need to set the XLABEL etc again and again.
Good luck, Jan

That's one of the bad points about the Mathworks newsreader, and
probably why we have so many duplicate posts. You'd think they'd be
able to post it immediately if they did the posting, but apparently
not. If you want virtually instant posting, use Google. When i post
from Google it appears within about 5 seconds. With the Mathworks, it
can take several minutes. You will always see posts on Google before
the Mathworks, even for posts originated on the Mathworks web
site,surprisingly. And of course Google has that nice feature where
you can click the star to help you see/track/highlight the
conversations in which you've personally participated.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, your post does not solve my problem:
- The two [0 1] axes are not created in my code. When I go through the loop that creates successive frames, I never see these [0 1] appear... and then when I run the "movie" function, all of a sudden these axes appear... my interpretation is that there is a parameter in the "movie" function that I use incorrectly, but I cannot seem to find which one.
- moviein is not needed ==> I had found pieces of code on the web, apparently they were quite old. Thanks for spotting this!
- No 'replace' ==> my intent was to get rid of previous graphics rather than printing new lines over old ones. I thought this is what "set(fig1,'NextPlot','replace')" did, but apparently I am wrong?
Thank you very much for your help,
