Description
I'm attempting to use some old plotting code, and I can't seem to get export_fig to save. Here's a minimal example showing the behavior.
using MATLAB
y = linspace(2., 3., 500)
mat"plot($(y))"
mat"export_fig(gcf,'test.png')"
I can't find test.png anywhere on the system, and neither Julia nor Matlab gives an error.

Research direction
Start by running the minimal Julia example from the issue and check how MATLAB.jl forwards the mat"..." commands to MATLAB. Trace the handling of export_fig(gcf,'test.png') and determine why no file or error is produced. Done means the example saves test.png or reports the underlying failure clearly.
