Writing the colorbar to an image

Started by Sean July 7, 2004
I'm trying to get the color bar from the current figure along with
the numeric annotations along the side of the bar into a standard
color image matrix in order to write the color bar--and nothing else--
to an image file (e.g., Windows BMP). Is this possible?

Due to figure dimensions, the color bar may also vary by
location/width/length depending on what figure is being viewed, so
writing the entire figure to an image file and then cropping a fixed
rectangular chunk is not an option. If the width/height and X/Y
coords of the color bar could be retrieved *in pixels* for a given
figure, this might be possible, but I can't figure out which object
parameter this might relate to.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

use command

colorbar;
