How to export figure with more points than shown on screen?

Hi experts,

I use a m-file to build a figure with data from simulations
in Simulink. Depending on the screen width, my figure can
only show about 1500 pixel (i.e. there are only 1500 values
shown on the x-axis).
When I export the figure to a emf-file, unfortunately only
these 1500 points are written into the emf file. But from my
simulation I have much more points (about 100.000) than the
shown points!
I have tried to put a bigger resolution with the print
command: this only enlarges the emf, but there are still not
more than 1500 different values on the x-axis..
I'm desperate: How can I print more values than I see on my
screen?

Thanks for your help!
Stefan

Is there really nobody who has an answer or any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Why do you need all those points in the figure? What printing
or display device will you use which needs all those points?
Chances are that all you will achieve is to inflate the
size of the figure file by a factor 50-100 with little
appreciable visual change.

If your objective is to store the data for later use, store
it in a different format than a figure file.

If there are missing details in the plot, reconsider how
you plot the data.

I want to print my figure on a 600 dpi printer. I calculated
that this printer is able to print about 4000 points on a
page width of 6 inch.
So how can I double the screen size of my figure?
Or how can I plot the graphs with more details (as you
proposed)?
Afterwards I will export it into an emf file.
But as I already said, the exported file only consists of as
many points as are shown in the figure.

Thanks for further help!
Stefan
