You can save static images using the following syntax :
saveplotlyfig(figure, 'your_image_filename.png')
figure is a struct with data and layout fields.
figure.data is a cell array of structs, containing your trace and data information.
figure.layout is a struct containing your plot's styling information.
Alternatively, you can exclude the layout information and simply provide the data information as follows:
saveplotlyfig(data, 'your_image_filename.png')
data is a cell array of structs, containing your trace and data information.
Combine this with a GET request on a plot you (or someone else) has already created :
figure = getplotlyfig('demos', 1526)
saveplotlyfig(figure, 'your_image_filename.png')
This will save a static image of a plot you've pulled from Plotly's Servers. Plotly supports PNG, JPEG.
