You just need to adapt it in your code (hObject is the figure handle). If you want my personal assistance, please contact me by email. Step 4 already contains a code snippet.

However, I stumble at step 4 at "or in your figure’s initialization function (for non-GUIDE figures)" I cant seem to make this work. Could you possibly provide a code snippet or clues as to how to implement for a "non-GUIDE" figure. Thanks New to Matlab and this appears to be the solution I am after.

Code to “Fill page” for US letter.

set(gcf, 'PaperUnits', 'inches') % default on some systems
set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0.25 0.25 8 10.5]) % [left top width height]

I have some preferred styles for journal papers, others for web pages and yet more for presentations. I gave up and wrote a relatively simple function that addresses much of the above.

I don’t want to repost the details here, but see matlabcentral for my solution – a ‘readyforprint’ function;

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/26400-function-readyforprint

the result is that a single command can be used to produce nicely-formatted images;

readyforprint([5.08 2.21],8,'k','w',1)

produces images 5.08 inches wide, 2.21 tall, 8 pt text, black foreground (lines and markers) and white background. All the lines are 1 point thick. Gives very nice output for a journal figure!
