How do I maximize the web browser window?

When you create a web window through matlab (like web(Url)) how do you maximise/change the window size in script?

which OS?

Windows 10 Enterprise 2015, might be nice to know how to do a unix system too, but Windows first :).

Unfortunately in the doc all I can see is for Linux :https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/web-browsers-and-matlab.html#brzpr8a-1

This is what I ended up doing in the end...

web(newUrl,'-browser') %is google chrome

pause(5);

robot = java.awt.Robot;

%maximise window 'hot key' Alt+Space+x

robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ALT)

robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE)

robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SPACE)

pause(0.5);

robot.keyPress(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X)

robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_X)

robot.keyRelease(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ALT)

According to my knowledge, there is currently no built-in functionality to maximize, minimize or get the state of a figure in MATLAB.

As a workaround for MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) and later versions, the attached files maxfig.p, minfig.p and figstate.p (with help files maxfig.m, minfig.m and figstate.m) allow you to perform these actions as follows:

minfig(F,1) % Minimizes the figure window for the figure with handle F
minfig(F,0) % Restores figure F if F is minimized
maxfig(F,1) % Maximizes the figure window for the figure with handle F
maxfig(F,0) % Restores figure F if F is maximized
s = figstate(F) % Returns the state of figure { Maximized | Minimized | Normal }

Please note that querying the figure position immediately after using these functions may not work reliably unless the figure resize is complete.

There are no workarounds for versions prior to MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a).

If you are using GUIDE with the Resizable set to off?
