How to adjust printing compatible with tiledlayout and labels?

Dear all,

I am having trouble printing the following figure (see attached file). My two issues are:

(1) The colorbar (with title 'power [dB]') is printed OUTSIDE the figure,

(2) The right y-axis label overlaps it.

Can someone propose a solution to these? I am attaching my script. Thanks!

Ron

Enlarge the figure window.

[Ron Nativ]

Thanks, Matt, can you please be more specific?

[Matt J]

If you enlarge the figure window sufficiently, it will contain all the graphics elements and also give them room to spread out.

You can englarge the figure window either by dragging the bottom right corner or by setting the figure position properties, e.g.,

H=gcf;
H.Position=H.Position.*[1,1,2,2];

Thanks, but this doesn't work, as I get an Error (see below). Also note that my issue is in the output figure using the print function.

Unrecognized method, property, or field 'position' for class 'matlab.ui.Figure'.

[Matt J]

I advise against using print(). Use export_fig instead,

[Ron Nativ]

Thanks Matt, I am using export_fig now, but I am not able to solve my issue. No matter how I "position" the figure, the inned part is resized to be almost identical to the outer figure's boundary, and the labels are truncated.

[Matt J]

Perhaps you can attach the figure as a .fig file to allow us all to examine it.

Sure:

The file seems quite large for a simple figure. 165 MB ?

[Ron Nativ]

It is because the seismic data were logged on 200 Hz and the figure contains data from 4 stations.

ok, problem solved using the appearance settings of TiledLayout, specifically something in the form of:

figure1 = figure('InvertHardcopy','off','Color',[1 1 1],'Position', [10 10 400 300]);
t = tiledlayout(2,2,'TileSpacing','Compact','Padding','Compact');
t.InnerPosition(1) = t.InnerPosition(1)+t.InnerPosition(1)*1.5;
t.InnerPosition(2) = t.InnerPosition(2)+t.InnerPosition(2)*2.5;
t.InnerPosition(3) = t.InnerPosition(3)*0.925;
t.InnerPosition(4) = t.InnerPosition(4)*0.75;
t.OuterPosition(3) = t.OuterPosition(3)*0.85;
t.OuterPosition(4) = t.OuterPosition(4)*0.75;
