Thread Subject: set GUI Position

I inserted the following code to my GuiOpeningFcn in order
to place the GuiFigure on the very left side of the screen
at start:

set(gcf, 'Units' , 'Normalized');
set(gcf, 'Position', [0, 0.3, 1, 0.5]);

But the Gui-MainFcn does something I don't understand!!!
There's always some space on the left hand side of the Gui
left. I figured out that Matlab forces 'undocked' figures to
appear on the screen at start: means that

set(gcf, 'Position', [-2, 0.3, 1, 0.5]);

leads to the same position as the above given: On screen but
not as far left as possible.

How can I supress the 'automatic placing service' done by
the GuiMainFcn?

Thanks in advance!!! LARS

It seems that after calling OpeningFcn,
gui_mainfcn calls
openfig calls
movegui(fig, 'onscreen'), which add a margin of 30 pixels.

If you are willing to mess around with MATLAB source, you
could edit the file movegui.m (on $MATLAB/toolbox/uitools/
), and change the variable margin to 0 (or -1).

Thank You Bruno! That's what I found out too. I thought
there could be a softer way like

set(fig, 'Onscreen', 'Off');

just to be included in OpeningFcn...

Hmm. Finally I put this position setting into the OutputFcn,
which is called after the Gui is placed automatcally. Thanks
anyway!!!
