I have a loop where an image is shown using imshow. I want that figure to be maximized. I have the following code:

figure(2);
set(2, 'WindowState', 'maximized');
figure(2), imshow([Uit1, JJJ, Uit2])

Every time the imshow-function changes the size of the figure, while the figure should remain maximized.

How can I make sure the figure stays in the right place/remains maximized?

Thanks in advance.

Hi LucasH,

The "imshow" will modify the figure size based on the image size. To change the figure position, use the "Position" property of figure.

To maximize the image use "set(hObject,'WindowState','maximized')" after "imshow".

imshow(img)
set(hObject,'WindowState','maximized')

Refer to the figure documentation for more information on figure properties.
