Automatically maximize a figure

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.

Solution

  • 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.
