Thread Subject: Screen Size

Is there away to automatically find my screen size? I know
one can find the size and location of a plot by using "get
('position')" command and I was wondering if there was a
simular one for screen size.

Thanks

Hi Ben,


Yes. The screen size is a property of the root object, which you can access
with the handle '0'. So, the statement

  scrsz = get(0,'ScreenSize');

will return a four-element vector in the variable 'scrsz':

  [left, bottom, width, height]


I hope that helps.

Thanks.

Rick
