Position a matlab figure generated in a GUI for automatic save - matlab

Question

I've been having some issues automatically saving a figure plotted in a GUI axes panel. Here's the code I have so far:
x= [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];
y = [10 5 6 7 8 20 5 4 3 8];
p = polyfit(x, y, 6);
r = polyval(p, x);
xlabel(handles.axes1, 'Time (\mus)');
ylabel(handles.axes1, 'Angular Velocity (rad/s)');
title(handles.axes1, 'Angular Velocity vs. Time (kT Test)');
aV = plot(handles.axes1, x, y, x, r, 'g--');
%Save figure
ftmp = figure();
copyobj(handles.axes1, ftmp);
set(ftmp, 'units', 'normalized', 'outerposition', [0 0 1 1]);
%Create file name
fileName = ['Test' num2str(time(1)) '_' num2str(time(2)) '_' num2str(time(3))]
saveas(ftmp, fileName, 'png');
The image is automatically saved, but it doesn't come out right. For instance, here is what the saved image looks like:
As you can see, the image is quite skewed. However, if I manually save the image, the entire figure is centered and saved. Is there a way to reposition the figure while automatically saving?
(Please note that I'm looking for a solution that does not use export_fig).
I've searched this sight for a while, and none of the answers to similar questions have offered a solution to my problem.
Any constructive advice is appreciated.

Answer 1

Here is what I would do:
x= [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];
y = [10 5 6 7 8 20 5 4 3 8];
p = polyfit(x, y, 6);
r = polyval(p, x);
figure(1);
clf();
plot(x, y, x, r, 'g--');
xlabel('Time (\mus)');
ylabel('Angular Velocity (rad/s)');
title('Angular Velocity vs. Time (kT Test)');
time = clock();
fileName = ['Test' num2str(time(1)) '_' num2str(time(2)) '_' num2str(time(3))]
print('-f1','-dpng', fileName);
Not sure exactly what you want for your filename, so just made that up as I went. The time=clock() is not needed if you want to have a different filename.
Note, too, that you can use saveas(1, fileName, 'png'); as the last line.
