Graphics

Setting CMYK Color

By default, MATLAB produces color output in the RGB color space (red, green, blue). If you plan to publish and print MATLAB figures using printing industry standard four-color separation, you might want to use the CMYK color space (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).

Using the Graphical User Interface on UNIX

1. Select Print from the figure window's File menu.
2. Click Options. This opens the Printing Options dialog box.
3. Select Use CMYK colors in PS and Ghostscript drivers instead of RGB.
4. Click OK.

Using MATLAB Commands

Use the -cmyk option with the print function. This example prints the current figure in CMYK using a PostScript Level II color printer driver.

• print -dpsc2 -cmyk
