Maximum TIFF file size exceeded

Hi,

I get the following error when running export_fig 'fileName' -png -painters:

Maximum TIFF file size exceeded
Use -dUseBigTIFF(=true) for BigTIFF output
Error: /unknownerror in --showpage--

GPL Ghostscript 9.20: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Maximum TIFF file size exceeded

Have tried to reinstall Ghostscript 9.20 to no avail. Have Windows 10 and tried on Matlab 2014b and Matlab 2016a with the same result.

When checking in AppData/temp/ there's a TIFF-file with 4 GB of disk space allocated.

Do you know why I get this issue?

Please try the same operation using the latest version of export_fig and let me know if it solved the problem.

Hi, sorry forgot to mention that. I already have latest version of export_fig from Mathworks webpage.

[altmany]

when exactly did you download it? the latest version is less than a single day old...

[tjohanssonn]

Hi, downloaded it a couple of hours ago.

Hey, this happened to me as well.. I created matlab figs via batch job on cluster and then I wanted to edit and export them to pdf locally. To be able to export the figure, I had to create a new empty figure on my local computer and copy the content of the original ones to it. Then it works.
