How to display a figure in a borderless fullscreen mode?

Hello,

I want to build an experiment similarly to what you'd normally do in E-Prime.

For that, I want a figure window to be displayed completely borderless (no title, no "minimize,maximize,X" buttons etc).

Right now I'm working with WindowAPI but it can only maximize the figure window. I saw other methods online, but all of them simply maximize the window, and don't go fullscreen.

My current code disables the border and maximizes as such:

% create fullscreen figure

iptsetpref('ImshowBorder','tight');

set(0,'DefaultFigureMenu','none');

format compact;

fMain = figure('Color','black');

fMainNum=fMain.Number;

WindowAPI(fMainNum,'maximize');

Please help.

As of release R2018a, you can "Use the WindowState property to maximize, minimize, or display a figure in full-screen mode."

Whenever I have a question, especially regarding UI, I consult the undocumentedmatlab blog.

I read all that and all I can do is maximize the figure window.

I can use WindowAPI to do this:

WindowAPI(handle, 'Position', [-1 -1 ScrWidth+1 ScrHeight+1]);

and that will make it "fullscreen" but all my annotations etc disappear from the figure! Which sounds more like a bug with WindowAPI than anything else. In any case, due to this problem, this method is rendered useless for me.

Any more ideas?
