Size of displayed figure is different from position property

Hi,

I am producing a figure with a set position

set(h,'Position',[l b w h])

but the figure's position as displayed on my screen is different from the above position. I checked whether the position changed somehow by my code but

get(h,'Position') gives [l b w h]

Does anyone know why? It's really frustrating.

Thanks.

Check the following figure properties:

• Units
• OuterPosition

It may be that you should be controlling the OuterPosition rather than the position property. Also make sure that the units are correct for your code.

I did set my units to centimeters and I control the outerposition too. But again the position is different from what I see displayed

Can you explain in more details how it is different? Some supporting information would give us more idea of what is happening. A screen shot would be nice, and can you please copy-and-paste your code too.
