black background in copy paste

| How can I copy/paste figures with a white background. No matter what
color I set (set(gcf,'color') it always comes out with a black
background which is annoying because I cant read the legend.
This happens for both settings of "InvertHardcopy"
windows mamachineXP)
Edit/Copy Options/Clipboard format is set to "Bitmap"
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
many thanks
Stefan

| Onse solution to this is to set the figure property "renderer" to
"painters". this is inconsistent in Matlab 7.2 from older versions.

easy solution: don't do copy-paste...

| Thanks Michael for that helpful comment. Alas, sometimes it would be
incredible helpful to have this tool. (especially since there is
sometimes apparently no other way to save a figure in high quality to
another application (except screen hardcopy), "save as" produces so
many errors that it is unusable)
To the first reply: Unfortunatly the "painter" renderer only works
when there is no alpha map present.
There really seems to be no way to do it :(

Set the format to 'Metafile'; bitmaps don't support transparency.

that unfortunatly destroys the figure information. The result is
garbage colors, wrong z-values and no transparancy.
the only way I found so far is saving the figure as a "png" file. for
some reason that looks acceptable (in powerpoint).
