Publication Example
For scientific publications the figure style has to follow exactly the style guide of the publisher. Following example should help you to set the figure size and font correctly.

Using Filters for Shadows of 3D Surfaces

Even though SVG is a 2D vector format, plot2svg can be used to create stunning 3D effects. The SVG filter effects can be used to create shadows that enhance the 3D effect. Following example creates a sphere with semi-transparent surface […]

Filters and Bounding Boxes in Detail

All SVG filters use bounding boxes to control the region the filter is applied to. Following example explains the bounding box parameters and their impact on the filter result.

Beyond Matlab Plot Functionality, Example 2

The following example of a histogram plot uses filter to fill figure elements with pixel images. The histogram bars will drop a shadow. The axis labels will be rotated by 90 degree to improve readability. All these additional effects are […]

Unfortunately, SVG does not support bilinear color fills. Therefore, the convertion of Matlab patches is not straight forward. In addition, figures with patches generally contain a large number of elements. This puts some restriction on the usage of overlays to emulate a bilinear shading. The usage of color filters is inadequate due to speed limitations.

Image Example

Using images in matlab plots can offer some advantages as the pixel graphics is highly compressed. The axis elements are still vector elements. This combination is good for publications as font styles and labels can be reworked at any time.
