stretch a figure command line

Hello, I have a figure which I then print to an eps file with the printf command.

However, my X-AXIS is TOO TIGHT. Manually I stretch the figure and then save it, which works fine. But I can't do this manually for every figure (I have tons!). So, I tried setting some values for DataAspectRatio and PlotBoxAspectRatio .... but it doesn't work.. the image doesn't stretch in the x - direction like I want it to. I also tried it by moving paperunits... but it's not working...

I see there's a resize commmand, but I haven't been able to figure out how it works, and despite all I have searched through the web , I can't find an answer. If anyone out there knows the answer ... I would be happy to know it. Thanks

I

You can set the figure size programmatically:

set(gcf, 'Units', 'pixels', 'Position', [10, 100, 1000, 400]);

Instead of gcf you can insert the figure handle, if you have stored it before.

Perhaps Oliver's export_fig would help.
