MATLAB: How to make window to be fullscreen and resizable in Matlab GUI

guimaximize

Hi,

I have a question about matlab GUI. I'm programming an aplication only about one window and a have quite a lot buttons etc. So I would appreciate if I could made the gui window to be fullscreen. For example by default 1366 x 768 on normal fullscreen like in Windows. It would be great if it could be resizable just like in windows and if it would be smaller than all the buttons etc. sliders would show up…How can I do that in matlab GUI ? I have no clue…Where GUI even take data for resolution of the screen ?

Thanks, Peter

Are you using GUIDE with the Resizable set to off?

Go to: GUIDE->Tools->GUI Options->Resizable Behavior

MATLAB: How to maximize the web browser window

This is what I ended up doing in the end...

web(newUrl,'-browser') %is google chrome

pause(5);

robot = java.awt.Robot;

%maximise window 'hot key' Alt+Space+x

robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ALT)

robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE)

robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE)

pause(0.5);

robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X)

robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X)

robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ALT)

MATLAB R2018a and later

Starting in MATLAB R2018a, you can use the "WindowState" property to maximize, minimize, or display a figure in full-screen mode.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2018a/matlab/ref/matlab.ui.figure-properties.html#d119e305946

This is the recommended approach for versions of MATLAB R2018a onward.

To maximize a window and retrieve its full position in the monitor:

>> f = figure('WindowState','maximized');
>> pause(1);
>> f.Position

Unfortunately if the "pause" command is not present inside the script, it returns the original position faster than the figure maximizes, so in your function, I recommend including this "pause" to ensure the full screen position is calculated. The length of the "pause" may need to be increased for older systems.

MATLAB R2017b and earlier

As a workaround for MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) through MATLAB R2017b, the attached files maxfig.p, minfig.p and figstate.p (with help files maxfig.m, minfig.m and figstate.m) allow you to perform these actions as follows:

minfig(F,1) % Minimizes the figure window for the figure with handle F
minfig(F,0) % Restores figure F if F is minimized
maxfig(F,1) % Maximizes the figure window for the figure with handle F
maxfig(F,0) % Restores figure F if F is maximized
s = figstate(F) % Returns the state of figure { Maximized | Minimized | Normal }

Please note that querying the figure position immediately after using these functions may not work reliably unless the figure resize is complete.

There are no workarounds for versions prior to MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a).
