Setting graph figure size
MatlabMatlab FigureMatlab Problem Overview
All I want to do is make the width greater and the height smaller. I'm just doing raster plots but this question applies to any MATLAB figure
. I can manually resize it using the figure directly when it's created but I want the program to spit it out in the right size to start with.
Matlab Solutions
Solution 1 - Matlab
The properties that can be set for a figure
is referenced here.
You could then use:
figure_number = 1;
x = 0; % Screen position
y = 0; % Screen position
width = 600; % Width of figure
height = 400; % Height of figure (by default in pixels)
figure(figure_number, 'Position', [x y width height]);
Solution 2 - Matlab
Write it as a one-liner:
figure('position', [0, 0, 200, 500]) % create new figure with specified size
Solution 3 - Matlab
figure (1)
hFig = figure(1);
set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto')
set(hFig, 'Position', [0 0 xwidth ywidth])
plot(x,y)
print -depsc2 correlation.eps; % for saving in eps, look up options for saving as png or other formats you may need
This saves the figure in the dimensions specified
Solution 4 - Matlab
I managed to get a good result with the following sequence (run Matlab twice at the beginning):
h = gcf; % Current figure handle
set(h,'Resize','off');
set(h,'PaperPositionMode','manual');
set(h,'PaperPosition',[0 0 9 6]);
set(h,'PaperUnits','centimeters');
set(h,'PaperSize',[9 6]); % IEEE columnwidth = 9cm
set(h,'Position',[0 0 9 6]);
% xpos, ypos must be set
txlabel = text(xpos,ypos,'$$[\mathrm{min}]$$','Interpreter','latex','FontSize',9);
% Dump colored encapsulated PostScript
print('-depsc2','-loose', 'signals');
Solution 5 - Matlab
A different approach.
On the figure()
call specify properties or modify the figure handle properties after h = figure()
.
This creates a full screen figure based on normalized units.
figure('units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1])
The units
property can be adjusted to inches, centimeters, pixels, etc.
See figure
documentation.
