Draw Consistent Figures

I was wondering how we could keep a single export format for each of the plots that we draw using MATLAB. In the figure palette, I know there is an option to set a style for an export where you could set the size of the figure, font properties, etc... but it doesn't seem to work reliably.

The main problem is the size of the figure. For example, I would like my figures to be of the size 10cm x 10cm and have applied that as my default style. But if I accidentally resized the figure, I can't re-apply the style to have it be resized to 10cm x 10cm. So, after export I would have figures with inconsistent sizes.

So I was wondering what is the proper way of producing graphs using MATLAB so that figures would have consistent sizes, fonts, etc...

Many thanks for your help,

Thank you.

Just want to follow up with the problem I had regarding the figure not resizing - the figure has to be undocked in order to be resized.

Most of the figures if exported to EPS or PDF format have good quality in general.

Nevertheless, the export_fig function is still very useful.
