    <p>I have a figure that I would like to resize and afterwards print as a PDF. Using something like</p> <pre><code>set(hFig, 'PaperUnits', 'centimeters') set(hFig, 'PaperSize', [x_B x_H]); </code></pre> <p>works as long as I do not resize the figure too drastically. If I reduce the height then at some points the xlabel moves out of the figure. I have searched a lot but only found an solution to manually resize the underlying axes-object</p> <pre><code>scalefactor = 0.96; movefactor = 0.82; hAx = get(gcf,'CurrentAxes'); g = get(hAx,'Position'); % 1=left, 2=bottom, 3=width, 4=height g(2) = g(2) + (1-movefactor)/2*g(4); g(4) = scalefactor*g(4); set(hAx,'Position',g); </code></pre> <p>I do not like this approach since I have to manually adjust the two factors.</p> <p>Before printing I set the 'interpreter' to 'latex' of all text-objects (if that is of concern). Printing is achieved using</p> <pre><code>print(hFig, '-dpdf', '-loose', 'test.pdf'); </code></pre> <p>I hoped to loosen the bounding box by using '-loose'. Any help is highly appreciated!</p> <p>edit: It seems that really the interpreter (none, tex, latex) plays a role in this. I got inspired by this post here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5150802/how-to-save-plot-into-pdf-without-large-margin-around) and came up with this solution:</p> <pre><code>tightInset = get(gca, 'TightInset'); position(1) = tightInset(1); position(3) = 1 - tightInset(1) - tightInset(3); if strcmpi(x_Interpreter,'latex') position(2) = tightInset(2)+ 1*tightInset(4); position(4) = 1 - tightInset(2) - 2*tightInset(4); else position(2) = tightInset(2)+ 0*tightInset(4); position(4) = 1 - tightInset(2) - 1*tightInset(4); end set(gca, 'Position', position); </code></pre>

    1. COCould you post a minimal non-working example so that we can reproduce your error?

    3. COIt is worth noting that the behaviour of the "print" command can be dependent on your display resolution settings (at least on some versions of MATLAB under Windows). This is especially apparent when trying to print large images. When I am preparing figures for print/export, I tend to specify the sizes explicitly to avoid headaches.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
