graphing -- make figure window larger

I'm plotting a bunch of points, but I want the figure window to appear larger when I run the code. I need this to be some command that I can include in the code. thanks

Try set() to enlarge/resize, but not truly maximize , the window:

% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0 1 1]);

or see Yair's function (attached) that uses an undocumented call to truly maximize the window.

you can do something like this

figh = figure(1);
plot(1:10,1:10)
pos = get(figh,'position');
set(figh,'position',[pos(1:2)/4 pos(3:4)*2])

where you can get the position (pos) of the current position. then in the set() you can set the window x,y position of the lower left corner and then how wide and tall the figure is [lowerleftcornerx lowerleftcornery width height]. for my screen and initial figure position the above works out well.

This is documented well here http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/figure-properties.html.

The fullfig function creates full-screen figures. fullfig by itself initializes a new figure; fullfig(gcf) turns the current figure into a full-screen figure.
