The acquisition platform is on Linux, so I cannot use Matlab (which is installed on the machine btw.) from labview. So, I have to use mathscript (new to it, but seems fairly portable).
During the acquisition, some data is generated, and analyzed using a mathscript node. The analysis involves generation of some errorbar plots that I want to save to disk (it will save me the botheration of having to fire up Matlab separately after the measurements are done).
When I click on the plot window in a test script, I see that it is possible to export the plot to BMP or EPS. So, the functionality exists. How do I do this from within the mathscript node ? The print command (which is the ubiquitous matlab way of doing this) is not supported.
I am using Labview 8.6.
PS: As an aside - the plots look much better than any front panel dumps I might make, so I really do not want to mess with any front panel dump type business. Tried that, those front panel plots are not fit for professional presentations.

Point and click and save is NOT an option.
My measurement generates 6 plots per measurement, and I have 10-15 measurements to do in a short period of time. Plus, I like to automate filenames etc. from the measurement to avoid any messes created by human error.

Hi m-s
I have replied to your inquiry in the thread in the LabVIEW MathScript RT Module forum. Please follow the discussion there.
Thanks,
