Simple. Thanks to previous posts on this ML, here is a way to do:
set (0, "defaultfigurepapertype", "a4");
set (0, "defaultfigurepapersize", [210 297]/25.4);
set (0, "defaultfigurepaperposition", [10 10 190 277]/25.4);

The two first lines set the paper size to European A4 210x297 mm; you may
skip that if you want to use US letter size. The third line set the margins:
bottom right (x, y) - top left (x, y). In this case, each margin is 10 mm;
if you want a half inch, simply put
set (0, "defaultfigurepaperposition", [.5 .5 7.5 10]);
Those commands must occur before any figure is opened. There are set at the
root of the graphic objects tree; each new figure will inherit from it.

Regards

Pascal
