How to generate the figure of subplot with consistent size?

5 views (last 30 days)
I would like to know how to generate the figure of subplot with consistent size. This is becuase after I generate the figures of subplot from different computers (different computers have different monitor and resolution) and save them, the size of subplot in different figures appears to be different.
I think that there is command to control the size to be consistent so that I can save figures of subplot with consistent size no matter different computer is used to generate and save the figures, but I do not know that command. Does anyone know about that?
Thanks for your kind attention...

Look for position properties in the figures. You can get & set them with the figure & axis handles.

But how about if I use some command to do so?
Because if I generate many figures, then each time I need to get & set them with the figure & axis handles and it would take a long time to do that.

@Frank Lau: But "get" and "set" *are* commands.
You can set the size, papersize and paperposition of the figure programmatically (see "doc figure"). If the figure has a well defined size, the subplots have also.

Before running your code, right when you start MATLAB, or added to your startup.m
x = get(0, 'DefaultFigurePosition');
set(0, 'DefaultFigurePosition', [x(1:2), 800, 600]);

Are you comparing on screen size? Are you figures identical (same axis limits and labels)?

The axis limits and labels are the same. But the size of each subplot is different when comparing two figures generated from different computers
