Details:

>From the MATLAB documentation:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/print.html

cdata = print('-RGBImage'); returns the RGB image data for the current figure.
This option differs from screen captures in that all printing features apply
to the output. You can also specify the resolution, renderer, '-noui', and fig
options with this syntax. However, you cannot specify a Simulink block
diagram.


A simple example that works in MATLAB:

figure
peaks
x = print('-RGBImage');


Octave returns the following error:

error: print: unknown option '-RGBImage'
error: called from
    __print_parse_opts__ at line 164 column 9
    print at line 315 column 8
