Thread Subject: Write data on picture files.

Dear community

I rendered some scientific stuff.
Now I want to put the parameters on the frames.
I thought of using Matlab.

-- snip --
fileNamePrefix = 'SplitRecombMovie0';
for i=660:700
    fileName = [fileNamePrefix, num2str(i), '.bmp'];
    image = imread(fileName);
    imagesc(image);

    set(gca,'DataAspectRatio', [1,1,1],'PlotBoxAspectRatio',[1 1 1])
    set(gca, 'Box', 'off', 'GridLineStyle', 'none', 'XGrid', 'off',
'XTick', [], 'YTick', []);
    
    text('String', ['P_{mw}=', num2str((i-660)*120/(831-660),3), ' mW'],
'Position', [600, 80], 'Color', 'white', 'FontSize', 15);
   f = getframe(gca);
   imwrite(f.cdata, [num2str(i), '.bmp']);
end;
-- snap --

Now my problem: The original files have a size of 800 x 600 pixels.

What I get with imwrite does not have 800x600 Pixels.
How do I tell the axes object to have exactly an extend of 800 x 600
pixels on my screen so that imwrite produces figures of 800x600 px?

Thank you
Pascal

I expected GETFRAME to work on the pixels in the axis, fooling around led
me here:
(something to start with for you)

imagesc(rand(600,800));
set(gca,'DataAspectRatio', [1,1,1],'PlotBoxAspectRatio',[1 1 1])
set(gca, 'Box', 'off', 'GridLineStyle', 'none', 'XGrid', 'off',...
     'XTick', [], 'YTick', []);
text('String', ['P_{mw}=', num2str((i-660)*120/(831-660),3), ' mW'],...
     'Position', [400, 80], 'Color', 'black', 'FontSize', 15);

set(gcf,'position',[50 50 810 610]); %something larger than the axis
set(gca,'Units','pixels'); %easier to specify
set(gca,'position',[8 8 800 599]); %


f = getframe(gca);size(f.cdata)

%imwrite(f.cdata,'o.bmp');
