Is it possible to set outer position of a figure in normalized units (for example to be equal to 1), than get the width in other units (which has to be the screen width)?

Yes, simply try it:
FigH = figure('Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0,0,1,1]);
drawnow; % Not sure if this is required
set(FigH, 'Units', 'inches');
inchPos = get(FigH, 'Position');
Note that the resolution of the screen matters for the result and this value is defined by the operating system. It could fail on Apple's Retina displays or Windows7 laptops with a userdefined scaling factor, most of all if the computer is connected to a projector.

@Stephen: Thanks, it's fixed now. I did neither talk about BMW motor cycles not about cricket.
I took the chance to improve my English by recognizing, that these terms are German: Drive-in, Pullover, Mobbing, Smoking, Streetworker, Basecap, Discounter, No-Go, Public Viewing.
Astonishing.
