Hey there, recently I’ve updated from 2024b to 2025a and immediately the thing that grabbed my attention was the fact that plots created in live editor and command window are vastly different in resolution and smoothness. I’ve tried searching for people with similar experience in Matlab answers but couldn’t find anything related. Some had issues with the gpu or renderer but my problem is only happening in live editor.
Here’s a comparison between a plot created in two environments:
clear; close; clc

t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 1000);
f = 4;
y = 0.8*sin(2*pi*f*t);

figure
plot(t, y)
axis tight
Lower res from live editor:

Higher res from work space:

I’ve also attached the plots incase uploding them corrupts the quality.
Now the interesting thing is that when I open up the figure window of the same plot that I had created in live editor then suddenly the quality is high again. I tried my luck with chat gpt and grok but they were pulling their results from the same forums that I had already visited so nothing useful was found that way.Hey there, recently I’ve updated from 2024b to 2025a and immediately the thing that grabbed my attention was the fact that plots created in live editor and command window are vastly different in resolution and smoothness.
