How to reduce the size of a graph to see the title and a legend that are not displayed?

i have a graph made in matlab with plot function but the title or legend is not shown because vertically it is very large, how can I make it smaller to be able to visualize the entire graph. Aditionally I have two x axes, one in bottom and the other at the top.

This is the script

%graficas de la biblioteca central

a=xlsread('Libro1.xlsx','H2:H96');

b=xlsread('Libro2.xlsx','AP3:AP171');

c = datenum(fechamec,'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM:SS');

figure(1)

plot(c,b,'r')

xlabel('Fecha: año 2020')

ylabel('Temperatura [°C]')

datetick('x', 'dd-mmm')

xtickangle(20)

hold on

d=xlsread('Libro2.xlsx','F3:F171');

e=xlsread('Libro2.xlsx','Y3:Y171');

f=xlsread('Libro2.xlsx','AH3:AH171');

g=xlsread('Libro2.xlsx','AX3:AX171');

h=xlsread('Libro2.xlsx','BG3:BG171');

plot(c,d,'g')

plot(c,e,'m')

plot(c,f,'c')

plot(c,g,'color',[0.9290 0.6940 0.1250])

plot(c,h,'color',[0 0.4470 0.7410])

legend ('T[°C] 4 ventanas cerradas y puerta cerrada','T[°C] 4 ventanas abiertas y puerta abierta','T[°C] 4 ventanas abiertas y puerta cerrada','T[°C] 2 ventanas abiertas y puerta abierta','T[°C] 4 ventanas cerradas y puerta abierta','T[°C] 2 ventanas abiertas y puerta cerrada')

hold off

grid on

ax1 = gca; % este eje deje activo

ax1_pos = ax1.Position; % esto es para ver la posición con respecto al primer eje

ax2 = axes('Position',ax1_pos,'XAxisLocation','top','YAxisLocation','right','Color','none');

x2 = datenum(fechamec,'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM:SS');

eje=[0:168];

y2=c'*0+100;

line(x2,y2,'Parent',ax2,'Color','b');

datetick('x', 'HH:MM');

title('Temperatura del Aire Interior en el aula M101');

xlabel('Horas[H]')

ylim([15 40]);

yticks([15 20 25 30 35 40]);

xlim([731222 731229]);

xticks([731222:0.5:731229]);

Could you show the figure?

Better yet, provide the code used to produce it...and is this on screen, on paper...???

[Adam Danz]

You must be changing the axis position because typically the axis resizes to fit the legend, title, and axis labels within the figure space. If my hunch is correct, that you're setting the axis position, stop doing that or set it to a smaller size that fits within the figure space.

[dpb]

Depending on just what he's doing, there have been a couple instances here recently with tiledlayout and extra axes that the defaults have not left sufficient room for...I didn't think to save links, but were forced to reduce the height of the axes and shift the default position a little to make everything fit without clipping.

That's why code would be most helpful so can try to duplicate if it is something not so blatant...

Hi, could you help me? I need to modify the size of the figure because the tittle isn't showing in my simulation.

Try something like this:

figure
plot( ... )
title( ... )
legend( ... )
pos = get(gcf, 'Position')
set(gcf, 'Position',pos+[0 -600 0 600])

Note that it uses the figure 'Position' property, rather than the axes 'Position' property to stretch the figure vertically. Experiment with different values for the vector elements to get different results.

[David Espinosa Congo]

It doesn't work, That code modifies the size of the window, but I need to modify the size of the figure inside the window.

[Star Strider]

Experiment with the same idea, however using gca instead of gcf. The scale changes, so perhaps:

pos = get(gca, 'Position')
set(gca, 'Position',pos+[0 -pos(2)*0.5 0 pos(2)*0.5])

Or something similar.
