How can I adjust the position of a 'scattergroup' (scatter3) figure?

I'm trying set the size/position of my 3d scatter plot, hopefully using something like the following:
figure('Position', [x y a b]) % or
set(fig, 'OuterPosition', [x y a b])
But, working with a scatter3 plot, I get the following error:
The name 'Position' is not an accessible property for an instance of class 'scattergroup'
I looked up the scattergroup class, and I noticed that there are no position properties in it. Does anyone know how can I modify the the size/position of my scatter3 object?
scat=scatter3(x,y,z,size,intensity)
Thank you!

scrsz = get(0,'ScreenSize');
set(gcf,'OuterPosition',[scrsz(3)/2 scrsz(2) scrsz(3)/2 scrsz(4)])
n = 20;
scatter3(rand(n,1),rand(n,1),rand(n,1),[],randi(3,n,1),'filled')
Ehehe, well I suspect your only fault was a wrong handle in your set position command. If you want to change figure properties, you've to give him the figure handle, not the plot handle.

n = 20;
scatter3(rand(n,1),rand(n,1),rand(n,1),[],randi(3,n,1),'filled')
axp = get(gca,'Position');
set(gca,'Position',[0 0 axp(3:4)/3])

Thank you for the response! Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear but that adjusts the position of the scatter plot within the figure; how can I adjust the position of the figure on the screen? Aka make the figure show up on the right half of my screen and make it bigger. I can do this for a normal plot but can't get it to work for a scatter3 plot.
Thank you, John
Hi John, your trys with:
figure('Position', [x y a b]) % or
set(fig, 'OuterPosition', [x y a b])
should work. Whats your error or code?
For the "right half of the screen"-Position, you can try this:
scrsz = get(0,'ScreenSize');
figure('OuterPosition',[scrsz(3)/2 scrsz(2) scrsz(3)/2 scrsz(4)])
n = 20;
scatter3(rand(n,1),rand(n,1),rand(n,1),[],randi(3,n,1),'filled')
Thank you for following up :)
The 'Outer Position' methods do not work, they return this error:
The first method you gave me - set(gca,'Position'...) results in the figure size staying the exact same, but the actually graph itself shrinking in that figure:
The figure('Position'...) method achieves exactly what I need and increases the size of the figure and the plot, but it also pops up an extra figure window which you can see here behind and to the left:
I'm looking to achieve the effect of the last method but without popping up extra windows! All of these methods work for normal plots so I'm not sure why there's this trouble with scatter3.
Thanks again, John
