I'm trying to save a plot as png (i.e. other formats suffer from this problem) via save as but I got this error



Error using hgexport
Error using print
Too many input arguments


Any suggestions? Matlab R2016a

  • Thanks to detail the error message, but it would equally useful to also show the code that generated the error ...

  • @Hoki, I wish the error is too long, but this is what I got. Any simple code yields this error. Probably this has nothing to do with the code but some corrupted or wrong directory for the print function.

  • Too many input arguments signals that there is definitely something wrong with the code. Are you able to reproduce this error with a complete sample set of data and instructions ? If yes then please detail it in your question.

  • @Hoki I’m using the plot window. No code for using print. File>Save as

After using which print, it seems there is a user-defined function whose name is print in this folder



C:UsersXXXXDocumentsMATLABprint.m


Matlab is probably trying to call this function instead of the one which is defined in here



C:Program FilesMATLABR2016atoolboxmatlabgraphicsprint.m


This is really awkward. Matlab should alter users when they name functions with already built-in functions. After renaming the user-defined function, Matlab successfully saved the figure as png.
