I agree with Rich – this is not very clear for non-Guide things.
Ultimately I am happy using a ‘mydefault’ stylesheet. I just want to know how to get Matlab to load ‘mydefault’ automatically at startup.
But anyway thanks for your hard work running this website.

@Akash – try using a different barcode font face, or increase your font size

Step 4 already contains a code snippet. 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.

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 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!

Sebastiaan – the point in this post was to enable full programmatic access to the Print options customization, without need for any manual intervention.
