For some reason the default opening location for my MATLAB figures it ouside of the screen area of my monitor. How do I change this?
Put another way, when I call "figure" the window opens, but half of it is off the screen. This is very irritating.

You may wish to check

get(0,'DefaultFigurePosition')

and

get(0,'FactoryFigurePosition')

and see if either of those is set.

Are you possibly using a dual monitor setup ? I seem to recall people
running into positioning problems sometimes with dual setups.

Walter,

Yes I am using a dual monitor setup. Do you recall any fixes?
Both of those values are set. Mine are:

get(0,'DefaultFigurePosition')
ans = -792 1014 560 420
get(0,'FactoryFigurePosition')
ans = 100 100 660 520

Here:
>> get(0,'DefaultFigurePosition')
ans =
680 678 560 420



Try this:

>>figure('units','pixels','position',[680 678 560 420])

If you like that position, then do:

>>set(0,'defaultfigureposition',[680 678 560 420])

and try again:

>>figure

No documented fix :(
