GUI Resize - region of interest???

Hello all! I 'm trying to resize to a region of interest. Well I have half of what I want as shown in the code here:

    % Make figure 1
    f1 = figure('Name','Window 1');

    %Add some text boxes
    u1 = uicontrol(f1, ...
        'Style','text', ...
        'String','Upper Data', ...
        'Callback','feval(plotf)', ...
        'position', [250 380 100 15]);

    u1 = uicontrol(f1, ...
        'Style','text', ...
        'String','Lower Data', ...
        'Callback','feval(plotf)', ...
        'position', [250 20 100 15]);

    %grab current position data
    get(gcf,'position')

    %so you see both the upper and lower regions
    pause(2)

    %set new data
    set(gcf,'position', [677 610 560 210])

What I need is to find a way to get essentially a position of:

      set(gcf,'position', [677 610 560 210:420])

But that code is not the correct way to accomplish this. I need is a way to display the upper regions just like I display the lower regions.

Please help!

Thanks

I'm not clear about the actual question but the position vector defined as:

 [bottomLeft topRight width height]

so are you looking for:

 set ( gcf, 'position', [677 610 564 420] )

Additional information can be found in the poster's earlier post where we suggested the code would not work that way. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/141455-gui-position-property-issue
