Thread Subject: Save Image and Overlay with original image dimensions

I am trying to write some text on 1920x1080 image and then save the image overlaid with text with the same dimensions and no margins. I have tried this:

A = rand(1080,1920);
f = figure('units', 'pixels', 'position', [0 0 1920 1080], 'paperpositionmode', 'auto');
axis off;
image(A);
hold on;
text(100,100,'a',);
set(gca, 'visible', 'off', 'position', [0 0 1920 1080]);
print -dpng test

For some reason this produces a 3843x1610 image

I have also tried saveSameSize.m, but this seems to have a limitation if your screen size is smaller than the image resolution.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Does it help to set the axes units to pixels?
  set(gca, 'Units', 'pixels')

No, that doesn't seem to help. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I have been trying to something similar.


spfFig = figure;

colorIm = imread( 'image.png');
imRows = size(colorIm,1); imCols = size(colorIm,2);

figure(spfFig);
reset( gcf ); reset( gca );
set( spfFig , 'Visible', 'off');
imshow( colorIm ); hold on; axis image;
plot( ....// necessary plots and annotations

set( spfFig, 'Units', 'pixels', 'position', [100 100 imCols imRows] );
set( gca, 'Units', 'pixels', 'position', [1 1 imCols imRows ]);
    
set( spfFig, 'paperunits', 'points', 'papersize', [fix((imCols-1)*(3/4))+1 fix((imRows-1)*(3/4))+1]);
set( spfFig, 'paperunits', 'normalized', 'paperposition', [0 0 1 1]);

print( spfFig, sprintf('-r%d', fix(72*(4/3))), '-dpng', sprintf( '%s/%04d.png', spfOutputSeqDir, ind ) );

This is assuming that a pixel unit = 3/4th of a point. This approximation seems to work and the resulting image has the original dimensions without the bordor.
