Description:

A tool to facilitate positioning of figures on a certain location on the screen.

Usage:

Position the figure with number fignr at a desired location and adjust the size if necessary. Run the function pos(fignr) in the command prompt of matlab. This will copy a command similar to

set(1,'position',[1400 530 560 420]); 

to your clipboard. Next, paste this line after the figure(fignr); command in your m-file (use CTRL-V). The next time you run the m-file, the figure will be positioned at the desired location.

File:

pos.m

Code:

function pos(fig)
posvec=get(fig,'position');
clipboard('copy', ['set(',num2str(fig),',position,[',num2str(posvec(1,1)),' ',num2str(posvec(1,2)),' ',num2str(posvec(1,3)),' ',num2str(posvec(1,4)),']);'  ])
disp(['Clipboard contains: ' clipboard('paste')]);
disp('Paste this after your figure(fig); command in your m-file.');
