Adjusting size of plot in Matlab so that graph does not get cut off by edge of plot window

Question

I\'ve created a plot in Matlab, but unfortunately the side of the plot is cut off by the plotting window. Here is the code that I\'ve used to create the plot:

Answer 1

The following document (How to produce figures with Matlab that have the right dimensions when printed) provides some example code that can be used to resize the plot in the proper fashion.

The following code was used:

point = num(:, 1);
depth = num(:, 2);

hfig = plot(point, depth, '-s', 'Color', 'k', 'MarkerFaceColor', 'k', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k', 'MarkerSize', 10);
set(gca, 'LineWidth', axis_size);
set(gca,'FontSize', ticksize, 'FontName', fontname);
set(gcf,'PaperUnits','centimeters')
xSize = 30; ySize = 5;
xLeft = (21-xSize)/2; yTop = (30-ySize)/2;
set(gcf,'PaperPosition',[xLeft yTop xSize ySize])
set(gcf,'Position',[300 600 xSize*50 ySize*50])

xlabel('Point Number');
ylabel('Depth (cm)');  

Here is a picture of the result. This looks similar to the one that I posted in my question above. I don't know if this is dependent on monitor size and/or screen resolution.
