Hi everyone, I do not understand what I'am doing woring in saving my plot.
My code:
Temp=[num2str(vaiable), 'Myplotnumber' ,num2str(n) ,'-dpng'];
saveas(gcf,Temp);
it save the figure always with Var1Myplotnumber2.png.fig
why put matlab .fig at the end?
Thank you?

If I use print(gca, Temp)
I got:
Error using alternatePrintPath
Invalid or unsupported printer '' specified.
Error in print (line 83)
pj = alternatePrintPath(pj);

Pass gcf and not axes
print(gcf, 'test', '-dpng', '-r400')

Thank you all so much for your help. In my case the '-dpng' ending did not work.
if I change to:
Temp=['%MyName%' ,'.png'];
saveas(gcf, Temp)
it saves png format.

Use exportgraphics() instead if you have R2020a or later.

Yes that works for me, but why does not my code work? Maybe something with my loop (num2str (n)), I have to check..

I don't know. You never showed me your exportgraphics() code that didn't work. You only showed it where it worked in the command window with a hard-coded filename string. Please post the non-working code from your m-file. Apparently it thinks your Temp did not have an extension on it. Are you sure Temp ends in '.png'?

Temp = {sprintf('%dMyplotnumber%d.png', vaiable, n),'-dpng'};
saveas(gcf, Temp{:})

You can do
baseFileName = sprintf('%d Myplotnumber %d.png', variable, n); % Name without folder.
fullFileName = fullfile(yourFolder, baseFileName); % Prepend folder.
saveas(gcf, fullFileName);
