Matlab shrinking subplot graphs when running the code

Everytime I run my code, the graphs I have shrink.
figure(100);clf;
or = [0.8500, 0.3250, 0.0980];
ye = [0.9290, 0.6940, 0.1250];
bl = [0, 0.4470, 0.7410];
vec = [or;ye;bl];
clr = 'rgb';
sz = 14;
yname(1).s = '\mu_s [cm^{-1}]';ytitle(1).s = 'Scattering';
yname(2).s = 'g [-]';ytitle(2).s = 'Anisiotropy';
yname(3).s = '\mu_s'' [cm^{-1}]';ytitle(3).s = 'Reduced Scattering';
ymax = [3000 1 400];
for k=1:3
subplot(3,1,k)
for j=1:length(diadia)
plot(lambdalambda, musgp(:,j,k),'-','color',vec(j,:),'linewidth',1)
hold on
y = ymax(k); dy = y/10; x = mean(lambdalambda);
text(x,y-dy*j,sprintf('dia = %0.3f um', diadia(j)), ...
'fontsize',sz, 'color',vec(j,:))
end%j
set(gca,'fontsize',sz)
xlabel('wavelength \lambda [\mum]')
ylabel(yname(k).s)
title(ytitle(k).s, 'fontsize',14)
end%k
is there a way I can make it so it does not shrink, or how would I separate the figure into three plots if this is not possible?

Would it be possible for you to share the data producing your problematic figure?

Sometimes that (used to) happen, as far as I understood it had something to do with repeated plotting (possibly with titles and labels). You might avoid that by plotting all curves at once. Perhaps something like this:
for k=1:3
subplot(3,1,k)
j=1:length(diadia);
phK{k} = plot(lambdalambda,squeeze(musgp(:,j,k)),'-','color','linewidth',1);
hold on
y = ymax(k); dy = y/10; x = mean(lambdalambda);
text(x,y-dy*j,sprintf('dia = %0.3f um', diadia(j)), ...
'fontsize',sz, 'color',vec(j,:))
set(gca,'fontsize',sz)
xlabel('wavelength \lambda [\mum]')
ylabel(yname(k).s)
title(ytitle(k).s, 'fontsize',14)
end%k
for k = 1:3,
for j = 1:size(phK{k})
set(phK{k}(j),'color',vec(j,:));
end
end

Hm, (when I encounter this problem, I typically solve it irritated and on an exception-by-exception base so no record of what have worked...) what if you try to remove all the titling and labeling (or at least the resising of everything) and put that in separately at the end?
There is also a vague tingling of a memory that I've managed to the axes to get in shape by manually resizing the figure window.
Another, design-take on your figure: since you have the same range in wavelength in all subplots, you might consider only adding the xlabel to the bottom subplot - that will help save you some real-estate for the plots. Now, this is not my task or place to question your design/taste, but this is how I get more graph and less repeated text in my figures.
