How can I get rid of the large invisible border of my MATLAB figure without cropping it?
Hey I have a question that would be super helpful to have an answer to. I am generating many MATLAB images. However, each image, when I copy figure to PPT, seems to have a large invisible box around it, which you can see when you click on the image. I know you can easily crop this out, but I don't want to crop many many images, and have to worry if the cropping is the same size. I want to copy these images into a Word document, and all the extra white space is not favorable. Is there a way to get that invisible box to just "hug" the image, instead of extending out several inches?

Try This:
clc;
clear all ;
x = rand(20,1) ;
y = rand(20,1) ;
plot(x,y)
set(gca,'LooseInset',get(gca,'TightInset'));
saveas(gcf,'junk.jpg')
