As I had indicated ealier the "paperposition" property will change the result 
of the print() command. To change the displayed result you need to modify the 
"positon" property. When using the default gnuplot backend, this requires you 
set the property when the window is created.

        figure ('position', position)

Where the variable "position" contains the 1x4 vector for the figure's position 
in pixels.
