export figure as eps or pdf

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. plot
2. switch to figure window
3. export figure and it seems that the only option is PNG

So, is there any method to export the figure as eps or pdf? thanks!

I will try to support more figure exporting options at new ScalaLab versions.

For now, you can easily convert the .png file to .jpg for example,
using e.g. Paint in Windows,
from the JPEG format the OpenOffice can read it,
and can export the figure as .pdf

Thank you for contributing to this nice project!

BTW: it seems that there are a few posts on how to play with jFreeChart, some 
indicate batik can be used to translate the figure into SVG, then it can be 
converted to other vector graphics with high quality.

I added today (October 17 version) support for exporting to many common image 
formats (i.e. pdf, eps, jpg and bmp)  from ScalaLab figures.

Thank you, for noting the need for this useful feature,
I think is also useful for many other users.
