How can I make some "standard" in figures using different computers?

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if is it possible to make same size figures from diferent computers. I have search in the community files which sets figure's properties such as width, hight and figure's font size but when I copy the figure to a Power Point file, labels and unit scales do not appear properly (it seems as if they are cut).

What can I do to solve this problem?

If I click on "maximize" figure, It seems that the problem should be solved. Howerver, the problem continues as it can be seen in the attached images. Futhermore, If I copy the figure when it is maximized, it takes the values of the size and the font size depending on which computer I am using. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Please look at the attached images for a better understanding of the problem.

Thank you in advance

If you have a figure open and go into edit -> copy options, what settings comes up? I seem to have more luck copying figures with "Match figure screen size" checked.

I have checked "Match figure screen size" but the problem continues. The thing is that when I copy the figure I can't see the scale 10^-4. due to the resolution of the screen or something like that becouse I see that the labels also changes as I change the length of the figure.

Hi Ander. I am facing the same issue. If I use my personal PC or the one at the university, or even MATLAB online, the same figures that I code (I specify the font size and everything) appear quite differently, mostly in terms of size and color saturation. It would be unprofessional to report different figure styles in the same paper, which is why this is a very important issue. Have you found any solution to this problem?

Hi Dimitri,

My conclusion has been the following:

• Try save the figure in .pdf and insert it in your document. I have had some problems with Microsoft Word according to this issue so I have started to work on LaTex: A text editor in which this kind of issues is easier to manage.
• Don't try to click on copy figure because it will surely not work.
• Doing subplots is a good way of getting a smaller and wider images.

Best regards
