matlab assign a "export settings" -> "load settings from" for figures programmatically

matlab

Solution

I found this solution at the bottom of this thread:

 % create an example fig that we want to format with style file 'foo'
 plot(rand(14,10));

 % get style sheet info
 snam='foo'; % The name of your style file (NO extension)
 s=hgexport('readstyle',snam);

 %apply style sheet info
 fnam='myfig.jpeg'; % your file name
 s.Format = 'jpeg'; %I needed this to make it work but maybe you wont.
 hgexport(gcf,fnam,s);

And in your current folder should be a file called "myfig.jpeg" that is your figure with the export settings you made in "foo". If you want to see the style file options, type `s` into the command line. It should be a struct like this with all your export settings in it.

s = 

            Version: '1'
             Format: 'jpeg'
            Preview: 'none'
              Width: 'auto'
             Height: 'auto'
              Units: 'points'
              Color: 'rgb'
         Background: 'w'
      FixedFontSize: '10'
     ScaledFontSize: 'auto'
           FontMode: 'scaled'
        FontSizeMin: '8'
     FixedLineWidth: '1'
    ScaledLineWidth: 'auto'
           LineMode: 'scaled'
       LineWidthMin: '2'
           FontName: 'Wingdings'
         FontWeight: 'auto'
          FontAngle: 'auto'
       FontEncoding: 'latin1'
            PSLevel: '2'
           Renderer: 'auto'
         Resolution: 'auto'
       LineStyleMap: 'none'
         ApplyStyle: '0'
             Bounds: 'loose'
           LockAxes: 'on'
             ShowUI: 'on'
       SeparateText: 'off'

Problem

I have some figure styles I have saved in the "export settings" dialog that is accessed under File->"Export Setup". Is there a way to load one of my styles programmatically? ie. I currently need to do a number of mouse clicks to load my desired style, then apply it to the figure, then tell it to export and give the file a name. I feel like all this should be doable through a few commands but I can't find the right information.
