Hi all, I would like to change the position/size of a figure and then print it to an eps file, but I found I cannot change the figure size on Mac OS X 10.8.
Here is what I did:
Local machine: iMac (with OS 10.8) Remote server: ubuntu (matlab R2010a)
1. ssh -X user@remote-server
2. launch matlab without desktop (matlab -nodesktop)
3. make a plot
4. adjust position by
set(gcf,'position',[0 0 400 400]);
I changed the width and height. The figure on display was not changed.
* I think this has something to do with the fact that Mac Mountain Lion does not support X11 (now I use xquartz instead), and the X window display is not set properly.
Does anybody encounter similar problem? Any suggestion/solution is highly appreciated.

Update: a test shows the same problem when connecting from a machine running Mac OS 10.6.8, which uses X11 (not XQuartz). Same problem again on a remote connection running with the Matlab Desktop. Can anybody help?

I am having the same issue both with 2014a and 2014b (with the new graphics engine). I have not been able to figure it out and this is the only other post about it on the web that I have seen other than my own I made on Reddit
