When you go to export figure setup there is an option to expand axes to fill figure which removes all the whitespace around the figure. Is there a way to make this the default action for all plots in matlab?

I tried just exporting to "default" but this did not appear to have an effect. I am ~ familiar with setting default properties in the startup.m file, but I am not sure what property this is to set.

Thanks!

Perhaps:

set(0,'defaultaxesposition',[0 0 1 1])

That will expand the plot, but if I add labels then they are cropped off by the plot (as are the tick marks). It is in the right direction though...

I see what you mean now. I think all that option does is this:

T = get(gca,'tightinset');
set(gca,'position',[T(1) T(2) 1-T(1)-T(3) 1-T(2)-T(4)]);

So if you want all plots to have this automatically, I believe you would have to overload the plot function, something like this:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function [varargout] = plot(varargin)
% Overloads the PLOT function when called in this directory.
N = nargout;

if N
varargout = cell(N,1);
[varargout{:}] = builtin('plot',varargin{:});
else
builtin('plot',varargin{:})
end

T = get(gca,'tightinset');
set(gca,'position',[T(1) T(2) 1-T(1)-T(3) 1-T(2)-T(4)]);
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Also, you would have to add those two lines at the end of the M-Files: XLABEL, YLABEL and TITLE.

OK, Thanks. It is a little bit kludgy, but it will work. I thought I was missing some really obvious parameter somewhere, but I guess not.

Thanks!
