orient ornt specifies the paper orientation to use when printing or saving the current figure to a paged format, such as PDF. Specify the orientation as either portrait , landscape , or tall . Figure property values related to printing, such as the PaperPositionMode value, affect the behavior.
orient( fig , ornt ) sets the paper orientation for the figure or Simulink ® model specified by fig . Use single quotes around the orientation option, such as 'portrait' .
or = orient returns the paper orientation value for the current figure as either 'portrait' , 'landscape' , or 'tall' .
or = orient( fig ) returns the paper orientation value for the figure or Simulink model specified by fig .
Create a figure with a surface plot and save the figure to a PDF format. Save the figure with the same size that it appears on screen and use a landscape orientation for the page.
fig = figure; surf(peaks) orient(fig,'landscape') print(fig,'LandscapePage.pdf','-dpdf')
Create a figure with a surface plot and save the figure to a PDF format. Use landscape orientation for the page and expand the figure size to fill page.
fig = figure; surf(peaks) fig.PaperPositionMode = 'manual'; orient(fig,'landscape') print(fig,'LandscapePage_ExpandedFigure.pdf','-dpdf')
Create a surface plot. Return the current paper orientation value for the figure.
figure surf(peaks) or = orient
or = 'portrait'
Paper orientation, specified as one of the values in this table.
Landscape orientation. Set the PaperOrientation property to 'landscape' .
Tall portrait orientation. Set the PaperOrientation property to 'portrait' and resize the figure to fit across the entire page with a 0.25-inch margin. Set the PaperPosition property accordingly.
Portrait orientation. Set the PaperOrientation property to 'portrait' .
The default PaperType and PaperOrientation properties affect the result of the portrait option in these ways.
| Default Versus Current Figure PaperType Value | Default PaperOrientation Value | Current Figure PaperOrientation Value | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same value | 'portrait' | Not applicable | Position the figure on the page using the default PaperPosition value for figures. In inches, it typically is [0.25 2.5 8 6] . |
| Same value | 'landscape' | Not applicable | Position the figure on the page using the reverse of the default PaperPosition value for figures. In inches, it typically is [2.5 0.25 6 8] . |
| Different values | Not applicable | 'portrait' | Position the figure on the page using the current PaperPosition value for the figure. |
| Different values | Not applicable | 'landscape' | Position the figure on the page using the reverse of the current PaperPosition value for the figure, such as [y x height width] . |
Target figure or Simulink model, specified as a figure object or Simulink model. If you do not specify the figure or model, then orient uses the current figure.
