How can I adjust the resolution setting in MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) for widescreen monitors?

There is one ScreenPixelsPerInch property to set the resolution of HG objects. However, I have a widescreen monitor with 1600x1060 resolution. When I have a plot, legends and colorbars may appear oddly sized.

To work around this issue, use the Position or Location properties of graphics objects to set their position and size manually.

For example:

x = -5:.1:5;

y = -2:.1:2;

[xx yy] = meshgrid(x, y);

zz = xx.^2 + yy.^2;

surf(xx, yy, zz)

set(gca,'Position',[.1 .1 .6 .8])

colorbar(gcf,'Position',[.8 .2 .1 .6])

legend(gca,'Sample text','Location',[.8 .9 .1 .05])
