Exporting Figures to Files - printprint -options filename

Useful Options-deps --> Black and White EPS-depsc --> Color EPS-dpdf --> Color PDF-dtiff --> TIFF -fhandle --> Specify a particular figure handle to print-noui --> Suppres printing of user interface controls-rnumber -->  Replace number with desired image                                    resolution (200 or 300 for publication)

Example Uses of Print
