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
