from matlab help: Figure position. This property specifies the size and location on the screen of the figure window.
or
Position of axes. A four-element vector specifying a rectangle that locates the axes within the figure window. The vector is of the form: [left bottom width height]
where left and bottom define the distance from the lower-left corner of the figure window to the lower-left corner of the rectangle. width and height are the dimensions of the rectangle. All measurements are in units specified by the Units property.
When axes stretch-to-fill behavior is enabled (when DataAspectRatioMode, PlotBoxAspectRatioMode, CameraViewAngleMode are all auto), the axes are stretched to fill the Position rectangle. When stretch-to-fill is disabled, the axes are made as large as possible, while obeying all other properties, without extending outside the Position rectangle
