Why?

[…] And voila, your plot should fill the whole window without creating much whitespace, which is perfectly fine for exporting plots for documentations. You can also check out some more propertys at http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/axes-looseinset-property […]

Like others, I’m struggling to use this to get rid of white space in subplots. Perhaps an example would help? And is it best to resize the figure before apply this commands?

Many thanks,

In reply to Gerald. @Gerald - odd. A possible workaround is to set the figure's CreateFcn callback property to a function that fixes this. Whenever the figure will then be opened, this callback will execute, fixing this (and any other) oddity. I use this trick to recreate toolbar customizations that would otherwise get lost across figure save/load.

I've noticed that if I use set(gca,'LooseInset',get(gca,'TightInset')) to remove the white space, after I save the figure and reopen the figure the xlabel is cut-off for larger sized figures (1206 x 785 pixels) because MATLAB changes the ActivePositionProperty from 'outerposition' to 'position', and MATLAB also reduces the figure vertical size by 6 pixels. Anybody else run into this?

If an imagesc in a figure has a colorbar, setting LooseInset to [0 0 0 0] causes the colorbar to be outside the figure, hence not visible. LooseInset can be set to some other value that keeps the colorbar visible, for example [0 0 .1 .01], but if the figure is resized the value of the 3rd element of LooseInset needs to be different. This could possibly be addressed with a resize callback function but I have not been able to figure out how to automatically determine a good value for LooseInset. Anybody have a solution?

Thanks,
Richard

In reply to Ralf. @Ralf - I would need this too.

In reply to Chris. @Chris - I assume that drawnow would be more appropriate than pause in this case
