问题
I am creating some figures in MATLAB and automatically save them to files. The problem that by definition the images are small. A good way to solve my problem by hand is to create an image (figure), maximize it, and save to a file.
I am missing this step of automatically maximize a figure.
Any suggestions? Up till now I only found this:

but none are solving my problem.
回答1:
This worked for me:
figure('units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1])
or for current figure:
set(gcf,'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1])
I have also used MAXIMIZE function on FileExchange that uses java. This is true maximization.
回答2:
For an actual Maximize (exactly like clicking the maximize button in the UI of OS X and Windows) You may try the following which calls a hidden Java handle
figure;
pause(0.00001);
frame_h = get(handle(gcf),'JavaFrame');
set(frame_h,'Maximized',1);
The pause(n) is essential as the above reaches out of the Matlab scape and is situated on a separate Java thread. Set n to any value and check the results. The faster the computer is at the time of execution the smaller n can be.
Full "documentation" can be found here

As of R2018a, figure as well as uifigure objects contain a property called WindowState. This is set to 'normal' by default, but setting it to 'maximized' gives the desired result.
In conclusion:
hFig.WindowState = 'maximized'; % Requires R2018a
By the way, to address your original problem - if you want to export the contents of figures to images without having to worry about the results being too small - I would highly recommend the export_fig utility.

To maximize the figure, you can mimic the sequence of keys you would actually use:
- ALT-SPACE (as indicated here) to access the window menu; and then
- X to maximize (this may vary in your system).
To send the keys programmatically, you can use a Java-based procedure similar to this answer, as follows:
h = figure; %// create figure and get handle
plot(1:10); %// do stuff with your figure
figure(h) %// make it the current figure
robot = java.awt.Robot;
robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ALT); %// send ALT
robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE); %// send SPACE
robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE); %// release SPACE
robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ALT); %// release ALT
robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X); %// send X
robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X); %// release X
Voilà! Window maximized!
回答5:
As it is proposed by an author above, if you want to simulate clicking the "maximize" windows button, you can use the code that follows. The difference with the mentionned answer is that using "drawnow" instead of "pause" seems more correct.
figure;
% do your job here
drawnow;
set(get(handle(gcf),'JavaFrame'),'Maximized',1);

imho maximizing the figure window is not the best way to save a figure as an image in higher resolution.
There are figure properties for printing and saving. Using these properties you can save files in any resolution you want. To save the files you have to use the print function, because you can set an dpi value. So, firstly set the following figure properties:
set(FigureHandle, ...
'PaperPositionMode', 'manual', ...
'PaperUnits', 'inches', ...
'PaperPosition', [0 0 Width Height])
and secondly save the file (for example) as png with 100dpi ('-r100')
print(FigureHandle, Filename, '-dpng', '-r100');
To get a file with 2048x1536px set Width = 2048/100 and Height 1536/100, /100 because you save with 100dpi. If you change the dpi value you also have to change the divisor to the same value.
As you can see there is no need for any extra function from file exchange or java-based procedure. In addition you can choose any desired resolution.
回答7:
you can try this:
screen_size = get(0, 'ScreenSize');
f1 = figure(1);
set(f1, 'Position', [0 0 screen_size(3) screen_size(4) ] );

%% maximizeFigure
%
% Maximizes the current figure or creates a new figure. maximizeFigure() simply maximizes the
% current or a specific figure
% |h = maximizeFigure();| can be directly used instead of |h = figure();|
%
% *Examples*
%
% * |maximizeFigure(); % maximizes the current figure or creates a new figure|
% * |maximizeFigure('all'); % maximizes all opened figures|
% * |maximizeFigure(hf); % maximizes the figure with the handle hf|
% * |maximizeFigure('new', 'Name', 'My newly created figure', 'Color', [.3 .3 .3]);|
% * |hf = maximizeFigure(...); % returns the (i.e. new) figure handle as an output|

This is the shortest form
figure('Position',get(0,'ScreenSize'))
