% we link the dimension of the figure ON THE PAPER in such a way that
% it is equal to the dimension on the screen
%
% ATTENTION: if PaperPositionMode is not 'auto' the saved file
% could have different dimensions from the one shown on the screen!

% in order to make matlab to do not "cut" latex-interpreted axes labels
set(gca, 'Units',				'normalized',	...	%
