Axis dimensions in points

Can someone tell me how to determine the dimensions of the field of the current axis in points?

I'm working on a routine to plot a scatter plot in which the regularly spaced points should nearly touch. To do this automatically, I need to know the length of the x and y axes in points. Then I can divide by the x and y axis limits to calculate the appropriate areas for the scatter points. If anyone has a better way to do this, I'm all ears.

Here is an example of what I think you want to do:

plot(1:10,1:10);
h = gca;
set(h, 'Units', 'Points');
nPos = get(h, 'Position');

nXLen = nPos(3) - nPos(1);
nYLen = nPos(4) - nPos(2);
