I would like to print onto A3 landscape paper a circle of exactly 28cm diameter, and after looking through answers to similar questions, am confused about which combination of figure, paper and axis properties to specify to make this happen. The figure is larger than my screen. Here's the code to draw the circle, theta = [0:10:360]; x=14*cosd(theta)+14; y=14*sind(theta)+14; plot(x,y,'-r') axis tight K>> daspect([1 1 1]); figure=gcf; figure.Units='centimeters';
How do I print this out to the correct size of 28 cm? Thanks!

Hi Nirav, I'd looked at the link you mention before posting this question. It works when the figure (in this case my circle) is smaller than the screensize but truncates it when larger. Is there a way of tiling the print job so that it prints over more than 1 page ? On the positive side, the figure is now true to scale.
