35.1 Print Size: Orient

The orient command is an easy way of setting the various figure proper-
ties to get rudimentary control of printed output. There are three kinds
of orientation, each illustrated below.

Tall
plot(humps)
orient tall
print

The tall orientation can be used when you have plots stacked on top
of each other:
for i = 1:40,subplot(10,4,i),end
orient tall
print

Landscape

plot(humps)
orient landscape
print

Portrait
The default orientation is “portrait”, which can be restored using:

plot(humps)
orient portrait
print
