Is it possible to save a figure when MATLAB is running with "-nodisplay" option?

I have MATLAB running with "-nodisplay" flag and I have created a figure which is not displayed.

I start MATLAB without display by using the following command in the Linux terminal window:

 matlab -nodisplay

I create figure by using the following command in MATLAB Command Window:

plot(1:10)

This figure is not displayed. Can I save it to a file in FIG or other format nevertheless?

It is possible to save a figure even if it is not displayed. You can use the commands HGSAVE or PRINT to save the figures to a particular format, using GCF or other figure handle. For example,

hgsave('filename')

hgsave(h,'filename')

What if I tried this and when I attempt to reload the figure it says:

There is no 'WindowStyle' property in the 'contourgroup' class.
