MATLAB: How to adjust the resolution setting in MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) for widescreen monitors

aspectMATLABpixelratioscreen

There is one ScreenPixelsPerInch property to set the resolution of HG objects. However, I have a widescreen monitor with 1600×1060 resolution. When I have a plot, legends and colorbars may appear oddly sized.

To work around this issue, use the Position or Location properties of graphics objects to set their position and size manually.
For example:
x = -5:.1:5;
y = -2:.1:2;
[xx yy] = meshgrid(x, y);
zz = xx.^2 + yy.^2;
surf(xx, yy, zz)
set(gca,'Position',[.1 .1 .6 .8])
colorbar(gcf,'Position',[.8 .2 .1 .6])
legend(gca,'Sample text','Location',[.8 .9 .1 .05])
