Figure size when printing to eps

Hi Everyone

I might be completely misunderstanding or overlooking something here, but I use the following function to easily 'postprocess' my .fig figures for publication:

function postprocess(filename,width,height,fontsize)

% Load file
[pathstr, name, ext] = fileparts(filename);
open(filename)

% Change size
set(gcf,'units','centimeters')

set(gcf, 'PaperPositionMode', 'manual');
set(gcf,'papersize',[width,height])
set(gcf,'paperposition',[0,0,width,height])
set(gcf, 'renderer', 'painters');

% Change font
set(findall(gcf,'-property','FontSize'),'FontSize',fontsize)
set(findall(gcf,'-property','FontName'),'FontName','Times New Roman')

% Export file
print('-depsc2',name)
end

Unfortunately the size output-figure does not at all match what I specify with height and width. For example:

postprocess('Testfigure.fig',12,4,10)

Produces a figure of 25.16 × 10.06 cm. I'm using Matlab 2012a on a Mac. I guess theres probably a simple explanation, but I've been googling for hours with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! Best Regards, Emil

Oh, I think I might just have found the answer to my own question. The command set(gcf,'units','centimeters') should be set(gcf,'paperunits','centimeters') instead.

The output doesn't seem to be exactly the size that I specify, but now at least it is pretty close!
