MATLAB: How can the set Figure properties for the whole script

axesfigurefilegraphicslatexpdfplotprintsave

Hi,
I would like to have all my plots in the script to have the same appearance and to be saved as pdf with minimal whitespace, so I can insert them in a Latex document. I took the commands from https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/save-figure-with-minimal-white-space.html :
ax = gca;
outerpos = ax.OuterPosition;
ti = ax.TightInset;
left = outerpos(1) + ti(1);
bottom = outerpos(2) + ti(2);
ax_width = outerpos(3) - ti(1) - ti(3);
ax_height = outerpos(4) - ti(2) - ti(4);
ax.Position = [left bottom ax_width ax_height];
fig = gcf;
fig.PaperPositionMode = 'auto';
fig_pos = fig.PaperPosition;
fig.PaperSize = [fig_pos(3) fig_pos(4)];
They do exactly what I want but the settings always apply to gca and gcf so I would have to copy/paste these commands below every plot. I would like to know how to save them as default. For example it works with
set(0,'defaulttextinterpreter','latex');
and other similar commands.
Thank you!

You can set almost all Figure values as default. For example:
set(0,'DefaultFigurePaperPositionMode','auto')
Or
set(0,'DefaultAxesPosition',[0 0 1 1])
