How can I fix the position of a figure (non movable figure)?

Hi,

I want a figure as overlay to another software. I managed to set the figure always on top and not resizable. In addition I now need to fix the position of the figure on the screen. (I want to avoid a loop which always checks the position and sets it to its original position.)

Any idea?

Open a figure...place at the position you want....use:

   pos = get(gcf,'position');

pos is 4X1 array, which describes your desired location. Next time when ever you open any figure, you can change it's position using:

set(gcf, 'Position',pos);

Read about position.

I know, but the figure is anyway movable on the screen. I want to lock its position.

Try

set(0,'defaultfigureposition',[x y w h]')

[Roratonga]

This sets the default figure position in Matlab. Again I want to create a figure/gui that has a defined position on a screen (I know how to do this) and the created window should not be movable on the screen! (A workaround is to check (Event/Loop) if the position is changed and then move back to inital position)

Hello!

I'm facing the same problems right now, did you find a solution for this?

Thanks

If you are still looking looking for an answer, perhaps this works:

set(gcf,'Position',[x y w h],'Resize','off');
