Set paper orientation for printed output

Description
orient
returns a string with the current paper orientation: portrait
, landscape
, or tall
.
orient landscape
sets the paper orientation of the current figure to full-page landscape, orienting the longest page dimension horizontally. The figure is centered on the page and scaled to fit the page with a 0.25 inch border.
orient portrait
sets the paper orientation of the current figure to portrait, orienting the longest page dimension vertically. The portrait
option returns the page orientation to the MATLAB default. (Note that the result of using the portrait
option is affected by changes you make to figure properties. See the "Algorithm" section for more specific information.)
orient tall
maps the current figure to the entire page in portrait orientation, leaving a 0.25 inch border.
orient(fig_handle), orient(simulink_model)
returns the current orientation of the specified figure or Simulink model.
orient(fig_handle,
sets the orientation for the specified figure or Simulink model to the specified orientation (orientation
), orient(simulink_model,orientation
)
landscape
, portrait
, or tall
).
Algorithm
orient
sets the PaperOrientation
, PaperPosition
, and PaperUnits
properties of the current figure. Subsequent print operations use these properties. The result of using the portrait
option can be affected by default property values as follows:
PaperType
is the same as the default figure PaperType
and the default figure PaperOrientation
has been set to landscape
, then the orient
portrait
command uses the current values of PaperOrientation
and PaperPosition
to place the figure on the page.
PaperType
is the same as the default figure PaperType
and the default figure PaperOrientation
has been set to landscape
, then the orient
portrait
command uses the default figure PaperPosition
with the x, y and width, height values reversed (i.e., [y,x,height,width]) to position the figure on the page.
PaperType
is different from the default figure PaperType
, then the orient
portrait
command uses the current figure PaperPosition
with the x, y and width, height values reversed (i.e., [y,x,height,width]) to position the figure on the page.
