Why colorbar label is always beyond the limits of the figure?

Im dealing with the problem in a subplot figure. I put only one colorbar for all the subplots, nevertheless, when I try to put the label of the colorbar (i.e. units) it always goes away, doesnt fit completely in the image. Even when I save the .png image, the colorbar label is incomplete, as it goes beyond the limits.
Is there a way to improve that?

You can adjust the colorbar's position and label properties to ensure that the label fits within the limits of your subplot figure. Here's how you can do it:
```matlab
% Create a sample subplot figure
figure;
% Create some sample data for the subplot
data = rand(10);
% Create a subplot
subplot(1, 2, 1);
imagesc(data);
title('Subplot 1');
% Create another subplot
subplot(1, 2, 2);
imagesc(data);
title('Subplot 2');
% Add a colorbar that spans both subplots
colorbar;
% Adjust the colorbar label
h = findobj(gcf, 'Type', 'colorbar');
set(get(h, 'Title'), 'String', 'Units', 'Interpreter', 'none');
% Adjust the position of the colorbar (optional)
set(h, 'Position', [0.93, 0.1, 0.02, 0.8]); % [x, y, width, height]
% Ensure the colorbar label fits within the subplot
set(h, 'FontSize', 10); % Adjust the font size as needed
```
In this MATLAB example, we create a figure with two subplots and add a colorbar that spans both subplots. We then adjust the colorbar label using `set(get(h, 'Title'), 'String', 'Units', 'Interpreter', 'none')`, where `h` is the handle to the colorbar. Additionally, you can adjust the position of the colorbar using `set(h, 'Position', [x, y, width, height])`, where `[x, y, width, height]` defines the colorbar's position and size within the figure.
Finally, we ensure the colorbar label fits within the subplot by adjusting the font size with `set(h, 'FontSize', 10)`. You can change the font size to fit your specific needs.

I suggest using tiledlayout instead of subplot. It handles legends and colorbars much more gracefully and will avoid the problem you're describing.
tcl = tiledlayout(2,2);
ax1 = nexttile();
surf(peaks)
ax2 = nexttile();
contour(peaks)
ax3 = nexttile();
imagesc(peaks)
ax4 = nexttile();
mesh(peaks)
tcl.UserData = linkprop([ax1,ax2,ax3,ax4],'clim'); % equate color limits for all axes
cb = colorbar();
cb.Layout.Tile = 'East'; % Place global colorbar
ylabel(cb, 'units')

For reference, a loop version would look something like this,
figure();
tcl = tiledlayout('flow','Padding','compact','TileSpacing','compact');
n = 20;
ax = gobjects(1,n);
for i = 1:20
ax(i) = nexttile();
imagesc(magic(randi(50)));
title(num2str(i))
end
tcl.UserData = linkprop(ax,'clim'); % equate color limits for all axes
cb = colorbar();
cb.Layout.Tile = 'East'; % Place global colorbar
ylabel(cb, 'units')
