I want to shrink the excessively large horizontal margin, however, I cannot seem to figure out how. The TightInset property is locked. I am making subplots, so I am unsure if that has an affect. What do you suggest?

Thats probably not going to work, since the 'Position' property indicates only the limits of the plot. It does not include the axes labels. Hence, by making the 'position' property 0 0 1 1 causes the axes labels to be excluded. You have to make the sum of the 'Position' and 'TightInset' equal to the 'OuterPosition' property.

Here's a one line pice of code that does it.

set(gca, 'Position', get(gca, 'OuterPosition') - &#8230;
get(gca, 'TightInset') * [-1 0 1 0; 0 -1 0 1; 0 0 1 0; 0 0 0 1]);

(I don't remember the source but got it from somewhere on the web )
