SAVESAMESIZE print/export figure (h) at same size as on screen.
SAVESAMESIZE will adjust printing/exporting related properties so the
figure (h) will print/export the same size as the onscreen display. It
will print/export the figure and then restore the changed properties to
the original values
saveSameSize accepts some optional parameter-value pairs. If used you must
specify BOTH the parameter name (e.g. 'format') AND the parameter value
(e.g. 'png'):
