How to save figure as appears on the screen? with the same aspect ratio, and font size, etc. ?

figure('units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 .5 1]);
hist(rand(100));
saveas(gcf,sprintf('%s.png',mfilename));

For example in this case the output png is not a portrait format, however the figure window is.

Try this:

 fig=gcf;ax=fig.CurrentAxes;fig.Color='w';fig.OuterPosition=fig.InnerPosition;
