Hi,
Does anyone can help me figure out why my colorbar title is always partly outside of the axis?
Below is my code:
scatter(app.ViewDEM,X_1,Y_1,200,Z_1,'s','filled')
colormap(app.ViewDEM)
d = colorbar(app.ViewDEM);
d.Label.String = 'Elevation [m]';
Thank you very much!

I tried to recreate this problem by setting a UIAxes in App Designer very close to the right edge of the UI figure and then adding a colorbar to the right with a y axis label but the axes adjusts accordingly and I cannot recreate the problem.
Could you provide a bit more code? I'm curious if you're setting the axis position.

Yes, sometimes it works well. But in this case is not. Now I upload the data (X_1, Y_1, Z_1) and named the axis to 'app.UIAxes4'. The code is below:
scatter(app.UIAxes4,X_1,Y_1,200,Z_1,'s','filled')
colormap(app.UIAxes4)
d = colorbar(app.UIAxes4);
d.Label.String = 'Elevation [m]';
d.Label.FontSize = 10;
hold on

I was able to reproduce the problem after embedding the code you provided (copied below) within an app. It looks like a bug and should be reported. I thought of two workarounds listed below.
% Your example code that reproduces the problem
scatter(app.UIAxes4,X_1,Y_1,200,Z_1,'s','filled')
% colormap(app.UIAxes4) %Commented out; this just returns the current colormap
d = colorbar(app.UIAxes4);
d.Label.String = 'Elevation [m]';
d.Label.FontSize = 10;
hold on
% Workaround #1
% Move the colorbar y axis label to the left.
d.AxisLocation = 'in'
% Workaround #2
% Expand the width of the outer position of the axes a bit
% Look as your axes' current width value and chose a value slightly higher (+20 ?)
app.UIAxes.OuterPosition(3) = 500; % Change this value to fit your needs

Nice teamwork!
A better way to set the title of the colorbar:
title(d, 'Elevation [m]', 'FontSize', 10)

Yes this one looks more concise!
