How to change plot size?

Greetings,

I'm using a custom toolbox to generate a certain figure. The resulting image looks fine, except for the fact that the x-axis is hidden. Looking at the property editor I can verify it exits (stating 'R(m)'), has ticks and has the colour black. Unfortunately, it is just outside of the window (see image).

I tried increasing the window size, but to no avail, the image changes with the window size. Ideally I would like add some code that would reduce the area used for plotting (thus leaving some room to actually show the x-axis). Does anyone know if this is possible? Or if there is an earlier answered question that solves this?

Kind regards,

Karel

Use the position property

set(gcf, 'units', 'normalized');
set(gcf, 'Position', [0, 0.1, 1, 0.9]);

Try Yair's attached MaximizeFigureWindow function.

Set the OuterPosition property of your axes. That page has a link to an example, "Axes Resize to Accommodate Titles and Labels", that may be of use to you.
