Matlab Code Screenshot Generator

Turn Matlab snippets into images worth sharing, without leaving your Mac.

MATLAB code is usually posted alongside a figure, which means the code image and the plot are read as a pair.

Codeshot detects Matlab from the code you paste, so there is no language picker to get wrong. Here is the same snippet in three of the 30 themes it ships with, rendered with the app's own stylesheets.

function img = exportSnapshot(code, theme, scale)
    arguments
        code   (1,:) char
        theme  (1,:) char = 'xcode'
        scale  (1,1) double = 2
    end

    img = render(code, theme);
    imwrite(imresize(img, scale), 'snapshot.png');
end

Choosing a theme for Matlab

Match the width of the code image to the figure beside it. Two images of different widths in one post looks like an accident.

Getting the size right

Let the image follow your content, or lock it to a ratio — 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, or 3:4 — then export at 1×, 2×, or 3× so it stays sharp on a retina display. Copy it straight to the clipboard with ⌘⇧C, or save with ⌘S.
