matlab2tikz is a MATLAB/Octave script that converts native MATLAB figures into TikZ/pgfplots code for seamless inclusion in LaTeX documents. It supports most 2D and 3D plot types and outputs a .tex file ready to be included in a LaTeX project.
Use cases
- convert MATLAB plots to TikZ for LaTeX papers
- export Octave figures as pgfplots code
- get vector-quality publication figures in LaTeX
- avoid rasterized screenshots in academic documents
- restyle MATLAB plots using LaTeX/TikZ formatting
- include 3D MATLAB plots in a thesis
When to choose
- you write documents in LaTeX and need publication-quality vector figures from MATLAB or Octave
- you want plots that match your document's fonts and styling
- you need reproducible, text-based figure sources
When to avoid
- you need to export figures to PNG/SVG or non-LaTeX formats
- your plots rely heavily on third-party MATLAB toolboxes with unsupported plot types
- you don't use LaTeX or TikZ
