Answer 1

[Jim Riggs]

Right-click on the pushbutton and open the property inspector. There you can set the exact height and width of the button (in the position field)

In your gui OpenFcn callback,

buttons = findobj(hObject, 'type', 'uicontrol', '-or', 'type', 'matlab.ui.control.UIControl' );
set(buttons, 'Units', 'pixels');
for thisbutton = buttons
  curpos = get(thisbutton, 'Position');
  curpos(3:4) = [new_width, new_height];
  set(thisbutton, 'Position', curpos);
end

There are other ways of doing this, some of which are slightly more vectorized.

Note that in each case, the bottom left corner of the button will stay fixed while the buttons get larger or smaller.

The code makes no attempt to position the buttons "nicely" to fit them between objects or aligned with objects. For example if you had

    ++++         ++++++++++
    +Go+         +        +
    ++++         +  image +
                 +        +
                 ++++++++++

and the button was made larger, then you could end up with

    ++++++
    +    +
    + Go +       
    +    +       ++++++++++
    +    +       +        +
    ++++++       +  image +
                 +        +
                 ++++++++++
