Change font size on plot but it's cut-off

I have a plot from a GUI based on MatLab. I made the font bigger for publication purposes but the font is cut off in certain parts. I have tried various solutions but haven't found one that works.

This below moves it around but within window so if I move it up the top is cut off, if I move down, bottom is cut off. Need the window to be bigger.

pos = get(gca,'Position');
set(gca,'Position',[pos(1) pos(2)+10 pos(3)-0.1 pos(4)-0.2]);

I tried this but makes the window bigger and the image very small. I tried diferent numbers.

set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0,0,1,1]);

I include the below data which I used to try and adjust the parameters in the above code.

pos = get(gca,'Position');
pos =

1.0e+03 *

0.0725    0.0500    1.2500    0.4930


outpos = get(gcf, 'outerposition');

outpos =

556         474        1371         607

The information are too lean to suggest a solution. You have a GUI, increase the font size and at some locations something is cut off. This daos not allow to understand, which obejcts must be expanded or made smaller.

Thanks. Here's an example: I have the font at the size I need but it's cut off in the plot window. When I save the image as a png the font is cut off. I have many images so need a code to do it automatically.

if you have only a single axis in your figure and you want to avoid cut off, use

set(gca,'Units','normalized','OuterPosition',[0 0 1 1])

this fits the whole axis content including title and labels etc into the figure and maximizes the axis' size

[Adam Danz]

What are the units of your axes?

Are your axes regular axes or uiaxes?

How are you increasing the fontsize?

A minimal working exampling would be great.

Thanks all for the answers. This (below) worked.

set(gca,'Units','normalized','OuterPosition',[0 0 1 1])

Suggestion 1: used tiledlayout

Axes produced in tiledlayout usually handle these situations better.

Suggestion 2: check the PositionConstraint property of your axes.

If you want the outer position to remain stable when long lables are added, set

ax.PositionConstraint = 'outerposition'; % ax is your axes object
