Scatter not working v R2015a

[wouterscarl]

Scatter plots are not working in version R2015a.

[ble]

Can reproduce.

function scatter_test()
%SCATTER_TEST Demonstrates the need for a small patch.

    badMarkerTypes = {'+', '*', 'x', 's', 'd', 'p', 'h', '^', '<', '>'};
    testResults = cellfun(@try_to_convert_scatterplot, badMarkerTypes);
    fprintf(1, '%d out of %d marker types succeeded.\n', sum(testResults), numel(testResults));
end

function success = try_to_convert_scatterplot(markerType)
    testOutputFilename = 'scatter_test.svg';
    h = figure;
    cleanupFigure = onCleanup(@()close(h));
    scatter(1:10, 1:10, markerType);
    cleanupFile = onCleanup(@()close_and_clean_file(testOutputFilename));
    try
        plot2svg(testOutputFilename, h);
    catch exc
        warning('Marker type "%s" failed to convert. Message is "%s"', markerType, exc.message);
        success = 0;
        return;
    end

    success = 1;
end

function close_and_clean_file(filename)
    fclose all;
    delete(filename);
end

I have a fix for this, hang on while I pullrequestify it.

Amazing :-). Will check tomorrow.

Hey Ben,

Any luck on getting it through? :-)

I'm not much experienced in the etiquette, but I don't particularly want to repay Juerg's hard work making plot2svg by nagging him...

For the time being, the change is committed to the master branch of my fork ( https://github.com/ble/plot2svg ) and you can get it there.

Since Matlab 2015a it has a build-in svg engine. Just type

saveas(gcf,filename,'svg')

It is by far not as perfect as plot2svg used to be, but at least it can be a start.

Hi,

I've been on this errand with the newer versions of Inkscape and Matlab as well. kromuchi solution unfortunately doesn't work even for slightly sophisticated plots such as mesh surface and 3dplots (the text is embedded on the plot).

Hello.
I have the same issue with R2016a:
Warning: Unhandled child type: scatter

Fixed in my fork: https://github.com/kupiqu/plot2svg

just wanted to let you know about the first release of fig2svg which fixes this issue:
